YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 19, NOYAN TAPAN. RA Minister of Diaspora Ms. Hranush
Hakobian received the participants of the first pan-Armenian forum of
lawyers on the evening of September 18.

According to a report of the Ministry of Diaspora, Ms. Hakobian stated
that the pan-Armenian professional forums organized by the Ministry of
Diaspora represent one of the best ways to consolidate the potential of
the Diaspora and use it for Armenia’s development. In her words, there
are many issues to be discussed with Diaspora Armenian lawyers, and
their experience will be of great use in Armenia.

The minister underlined that by accepting the invitation to participate
in the forum entitled "The Armenian Legal Thought and the Challenges of
the 21st Century", the lawyers who have come to Homeland have already
been repatriated because the return means not only physical presence
but also the "return of thought, soul, and heart".

62 lawyers from 16 countries and 9 ones from the Nagorno Karabakh
Republic have already arrived in Yerevan to attend the first
pan-Armenian forum of lawyers. The opening ceremony of the forum will
be held at the Hall of Sittings of the Armenian government on September
