By the RA Law on “Trade and Services”, the activity of certain discos, karaoke, strip clubs, saunas and massage salons has been limited since September 26, 2019. Yerevan City Council defined clear criteria for their activity in order not to deprive them of their right to continue their businesses.
In particular, similar institutions will have the right to work at a distance of at least 100m from educational, cultural, health, sport and social organizations, offices, institutions, from multi-residential buildings, houses, public food objects, hotels, from the buildings of public and local governance bodies, foreign countries and international organizations or their representatives, from parks, gardens and other recreational places. The decision will enter into force from October 1, 2021.
The Mayor and the Council Members noted that the law needs several amendments, and communities can initiate new legislative regulations.
The first meeting of the fourth session of Yerevan City Council will convene on February 11, 2020.
