Armenia
AI behavior law: bot and agent disclosure, crawler and training-data rules, automated-agent transactions, and algorithmic decision-making.
Summary
Armenia presents moderate-low crawling risk under general-law provisions. The 2021/2022 Criminal Code (in force January 2022) includes Art. 254 (illegal appropriation of computer data — copying or intercepting data without authorization) and Art. 253 (computer sabotage — obliteration or disruption of data/systems). The Law on Protection of Personal Data (2015, amended) applies to any processing of personal data, including scraping. Database producers receive a producer right under the Law on Copyright. No TDM exception exists. Armenia is a Budapest Convention signatory; a draft cybersecurity law was circulated in late 2023 but not yet enacted. No English-language scraping case law found.
