YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 21, NOYAN TAPAN – ARMENIANS TODAY. The participants
of the first Pan-Armenian Forum of Lawyers on the subject "Armenian
Juridical Thought and the Challenges of the 21st Century", which was
organized by the RA Ministry of Diaspora in Yerevan on September 19-21,
issued a joint statement, in which they express a willingness to assist
with the solution of the legal problems of national importance, which
were raised at the forum, as well as they call on the governments
of the Republic of Armenia and the Nagorno Karabakh Republic, the RA
Ministries of Foreign Affairs, Diaspora, and Justice, and all Armenian
juridical unions to provide assistance to the newly-established
All-Armenian Association of Lawyers.

Below is the text of the statement submitted to Noyan Tapan by the
Press and PR Department of RA Ministry of Diapsora:

"Welcoming the initiative of Armenian President from the viewpoint of
consolidation of the national potential, as well as the opportunity,
which was provided by the Armenian government to this Forum with the
aim of strengthening the links between lawyers of the Republic of
Armenia, Nagorno Karabakh and the Diaspora, ensuring cooperation and
mutual human contacts and resolving juridical problems of all-Armenian
significance,

attaching importance to cooperation of Armenian lawyers of the Republic
of Armenia, the NKR and the Diaspora and their involvement in the
resolution of national problems and the strengthening and development
of independent Armenian statehood,

underlining the importance of the problems of further development of
Armenian juridical thought in line with international standards,

we, the participants of the FIRST PAN-ARMENIAN FORUM OF LAWYERS
organized in Yerevan, the capital city of Armenia, on September 19-21,

STATE that

the reports made during the FORUM, their discussions and an exchange
of ideas proved once again the necessity of cooperation of Armenian
lawyers of the RA, NKR and the Diaspora for the development of
Armenian juridical thought, the establishment of constitutionality, the
improvement of the quality of professional education, the propaganda
of achievements in this field, and the enhancement of the role of
preserving the monuments of Armenian juridical thought as part of
universal values;

we attach importance to the use of the potential of numerous Armenian
lawyers, who, due to historical circumstances, live and work in
foreign states, for the resolution of national problems such as the
peaceful and fair settlement of the Karabakh problem, the international
recognition of the Armenian Genocide, the provision of legal help to
ethnic Armenian minorities in other states, the legal protection and
legal registration of property of the Armenians and the historical
and cultural heritage in the Diaspora, and to the strengthening and
improvement of the legal system of the RA;

we create an ALL-ARMENIAN ASSOCIATION OF LAWYERS;

we join this structure, which is open to all Armenian lawyers willing
to cooperate with it.

At the same time we call on all the Armenian communities that do
not have a union or committee of Armenian lawyers to set up such a
structure in the future.

We appeal to the governments of the RA and the NKR, the RA Ministries
of Foreign Affairs, Diaspora, and Justice, to all Armenian juridical
unions to assist the newly-established ALL-ARMENIAN ASSOCIATION
OF LAWYERS, which will contribute to the development of Armenian
jurisprudence through the consolidation of all-Armenian juridical
potential and cooperation, the unification of scientific and creative
thought in the field of law in the RA, the NKR and the Diaspora around
national ideas, encouraging the participation of representatives of
state, private organizations and NGOs of the field in the activities
of the newly-created structure and the professional network to be
established.

We, the participants of the FIRST PAN-ARMENIAN FORUM OF LAWYERS
held in Yerevan on September 19-21, express our willingness with
this statement to assist with the solution of the legal problems of
national importance which were raised at the FORUM".

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
