Online sales of MTPL started in November 2017 as part of the transition to a single window system and a single platform for the insurance market under the project "Armenian Single Window for Automative - ASWA". In February 2020, the next stage for MTPL digitalization began - the registration of insurance claims under European Accident Statement through ASWA mobile app being established, ArmInfo wrote.
