Command of state security service granted righ to physical force 

ArmInfo.The head and deputies of the State Security Service (SSS) of Armenia, who hold non-military  positions, will now have the right to use physical force, as well as carry, store and use special means and weapons. The package of legislative amendments was approved by the Armenian government on  September 19 at a regular meeting.

As part of the amendments, SSS employees will be granted the right to  use vehicles belonging to individuals and organizations in the  performance of their duties.

It is also proposed to limit the right of bodies carrying out foreign  intelligence activities (the Foreign Intelligence Service) to involve  SSS employees as collaborators, and to create legal grounds for  filling vacant SVR positions with Service employees.

The bill, developed by the State Security Service, was deemed urgent.

Earlier the State Security Service was separated from the system of  bodies of the National Security Service and transferred to the direct  subordination of the country's Prime Minister.
