On 19 September President of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic Bako
Sahakyan sent an address to the participants of the First Pan-Armenian
Conference of Lawyers. The President stated, in part
`Respected participants of the conference,
I welcome and heartily congratulate all of you on the commencement of
the first Pan-Armenian conference of lawyers. This very event organized
by the Ministry of Diaspora of the Republic of Armenia will play its
role in the evolution of the Armenian legal thought.
The legal sphere is one of the key components of the development and
strengthening the independent Armenian statehood. It touches upon both
domestic and foreign political issues.
Within this context a vast field for carrying out research and
investigations of different legal aspects of the Artsakh is open to the
scientific potential of the entire Armenian nation. This will allow us
to further strengthen our arguments and approaches in the
Azerbaijani-Karabakh conflict settlement process.
The development and strengthening of the independent Armenian statehood
is directly related to continuous cementing and enrooting of civic
society and democratic values. In this process your role, the role of
lawyers is of great importance too. Activities in this field demand
high professionalism, adherence to principle, honesty
and, of course,
hard work.
Close cooperation within the entire Armenian nation, between the
Republic of Armenia, Artsakh and the Diaspora is of special importance.
The existence of the powerful Armenian Diaspora provides an opportunity
to address more effectively the problems we face by studying and
applying the experience of other states.
From this perspective the Pan-Armenian conference of lawyers organized
at a high representative level with the participation of state bodies,
scientific and political circles of different strata of the Armenian
people gain a unique importance.
I am confident the conference will fulfill issues put on its agenda
successfully and will contribute to the enlargement and deepening of
practical ties in legal sphere.
I wish conference effective work. I wish success to all the
participants in the name of further strengthening of the Armenian
statehood and realization of the dreams of our people.’
