YEREVAN, AUGUST 2, NOYAN TAPAN. Within the framework of the
"Well-Informed Young Family" ("Irazek Yeritasard Yntanik") program, the
"Ardaroutiun" youth public organization published the "Well-Informed
Young Family" book. As Zhirayr Karapetian, the NGO Chairman informed
at the August 1 presentation, the goal of publication of the book
is to inform young people about protection of their rights and
interests. According to Zh.Karapetian, within the framework of the
program having been implemented since 2002, "Ardaroutiun" showed legal
consulting and practical assistance to beneficiaries of the program. It
was mentioned that the organization had about 2000 beneficiaries only
during 2005.

About 100 citizens, among them 38 people for family issues, 27 people
for issues of inheritance, addressed to the organization in May-July
of this year.

Zh.Karapetian mentioned that they got most of all appeals connected
with divorce and issues arising of it. Principles of the amended Family
Code, particularly points relating to signing a marital contract,
issues arising in the case of divorce are presented during the
consultation given to them. The organization got numerous applications
relating to issues of the inheritance right as well. According to
Zh.Karapetian, today in the RA documents affirming the inheritance
right are registered only at the Central Notary Office. Whereas,
in responce to the servey of the organization, they made clear at
the RA Ministry of Justice that according to the acting law, all the
regional notary offices may register similar documents.

“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
