Dear colleagues,

The passing year didn’t prove to be fortunate for our country.  The cases and occurrences, well known by everyone, human losses and the state of crises and the search of the optimal way to overcome it used to be the inseparable part of our workdays.  The advocacy community couldn’t fail to have a direct participation in the issues important for the country, the issues demanding consolidation.  

Today we can inscribe that despite everything,   our advocacy society was able to persist to unexpected bafflements and to hold as high as possible the title of an ADVOCATE. I express a gratitude to our advocates for not rebounding in matters of human rights defence, for joining the appeals of the Chamber of Advocates of RA, law firms, individual advocates and for providing gratuitous legal help, as also for displaying material and moral assistance to our soldiers in connection with the April cases.

I wish you happy New Year and Merry Christmas! Let the New Year bring new achievements, victories and be marked by human warmth, in favor of the peaceful people of Armenia, Atsakh and the Diaspora.  Let it be a year of peace, tolerance and kindness.  

The Chairman of the Chamber of Advocates of the Republic of Armenia
