Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan participated in the first sitting of the
Pan-Armenian Conference of Lawyers organized by the Ministry of
Diaspora. The conference aims to unite the potential of Armenian
lawyers, discuss legal issues of pan-Armenian importance and create a
pan-Armenian association of lawyers.
Greeting the participants, Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan spoke about
the necessity to combine the potential of all Armenian lawyers and
turned to the challenges of the contemporary world. `The contemporary
world is not just a world of competition of states, but also a world of
competition of civilizations, and the trends of development of the
`Armenian civilization’ should become a topic of discussion not only
for philosophers, but also lawyers.’
`The President of the Republic has come forth with daring initiatives
to solve one of the important issues our nation faces, i.e. the issue
of normalization of the Armenian-Turkish relations. Here we need
political will, wisdom and unity. There are serious problems in this
sphere to be solved by lawyers. I’m confident that during this
conference we’ll be able to formulate what we are going to do. The
legal formulations of the issues of recognition of the Armenian
Genocide are very urgent, and we should strengthen our positions here,’
PM Tigran Sargsyan stated.
The conference features more than 60 Armenian lawyers from different
countries of the world.
