Library of Armenia’s chamber of advocates opens after reconstruction

YEREVAN, December 6. /ARKA/. The renewed library of Armenia’s Chamber
of Advocates opened after reconstruction in Yerevan Thursday. The
library was reconstructed under financial assistance of OSCE Yerevan
Office that provided 16,000 EUR for the purpose, the Chairman of the
Chamber Ruben Sahakian reported.

Before the reconstruction the building was ruinous and the literature
was outdated, whereas now the library has about 2,000 books on
jurisprudence and is equipped with modern computers and high-speed
Internet, Sahakian said. He pointed out the interactive lectures to
be delivered for practicing lawyers and future advocates in the
library

`’The electronic version of the library is located at
site, and all interested persons can take the advantage of the
digital literature, particularly in applying to the European Court
and UN International Court,” Sahakian said.

The Head of OSCE Yerevan Office ambassador Sergey Kapinos, in his
turn, said that the updated library will provide better awareness
among Armenia’s advocates and will contribute to building a state
where laws are respected. Kapinos said that OSCE Yerevan Office will
continue assisting the Chamber of Advocates. N.V. -0–
