The Chamber of Advocates of RA has received the following announcement from the Representative (coordinator) of the advocates of Shirak region:

ANNOUNCEMENT

“We, the advocates of Shirak region also joining our colleagues’ announcement about the regulation envisioning imposition of fine on the advocate by court defined by the “Judicial Code of RA” constitutional law draft, inform that we will organize a one-day protest action by refusing to realize any defense or representation in the state bodies of Shirak region as a precautionary step.

 Our trustees realize that this fight refers to their right to a fair trial, as a depressed advocate cannot realize defense effectively.

We call on the National Assembly of RA to take into account the viewpoint of the advocates.

The protest will take place on 24 January, 2018”.

Advocate Hayk Harutyunyan,

The representative of the advocates of Shirak region
