David Khachatryan elected member of Information Systems Regulatory  Commission

ArmInfo. David Khachatryan has become a member of the Information Systems Regulatory Commission.  This was confirmed by the results of a secret ballot held in the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia.

As Narek Babayan, Chairman of the Parliamentary Counting Commission,  noted at the April 16 session of the National Assembly, 61 out of 107  MPs participated in the vote. All of them voted in favor of the  candidate for commission membership.

It should be noted that the parliamentary opposition did not  participate in the vote. David Khachatryan's candidacy was proposed  by the ruling Civil Contract faction in Armenia. The National  Assembly previously elected Nerses Yeritsyan as Chair of the  Information Systems Regulatory Commission, and Srbuhi Hakobyan and  Nairi Adamyan as members.

The Information Systems Regulatory Commission in Armenia is a new  body designed to implement cybersecurity standards and identify and  prevent cyber incidents. The commission is tasked with regulating  critical information infrastructure.  Parliament is currently  discussing and approving the composition of the commission's members.  The creation of the commission will require significant annual  investments, tentatively estimated at 4-6 billion drams. The  commission is being created in response to growing threats in the  digital space and the need to protect state information systems.
