CHAIRMAN OF THE CHAMBER OF ADVOCATES APPEALS TO THE MAYOR OF YEREVAN TO EXCLUDE THE CASES OF HINDERING THE FULFILMENT OF PROFESSIONAL ACTIVITIES OF ADVOCATES

The Chairman of the Chamber of Advocates of the Republic of Armenia Ara Zohrabyan appealed to the mayor of Yerevan Hayk Marutyan, suggesting to assign the heads of the administrative districts of Yerevan to exclude the cases of hindering the participation of advocates in meetings of the boards of guardianship and trusteeship.

A few days ago, the board of guardianship and trusteeship of the Arabkir Administrative District of Yerevan hindered the implementation of advocate Nelli Movsisyan’s professional activities, by forbidding to participate in the session of the board as her trustee’s representative. 

Aram Danielyan, the head of the Arabkir administrative district, in the note No. 25/01-Մ-788, 29.01.2019, defined that behaviour as follows: “… in the board discussions on court cases regarding definition of child’s allocation the board shall make sure the participation of the legal representatives of the children (parents), and not the authorized representatives of their parents.”

The Chairman of the Chamber of Advocates, citing the requirement of point 19 of the Charter of the Guardianship and Trusteeship Bodies approved by the RA Government Decision No. 631-N of June 21, 2016, that the persons whom, refers the discussion, their legal representatives and (or)  authorized persons may be present at the Board sessions:  has found that the head of Arabkir administrative district has made his comment ignoring the  requirements of the 16th Article of RA law on “Normative legal Acts”, as a result violating the right of a citizen to receive legal assistance guaranteed by Article 64 of the Constitution of the Republic of Armenia, hindering the exercise of the advocate's professional activities.

The Chamber of Advocates recalled to the same situation, when based on the appeal of the Chamber of Advocates, the mayor of Yerevan by the note No. 35/65010, 14.12.2015, instructed the heads of the administrative districts of the Municipality, the heads of the Trusteeship and Guardianship Boards to strictly enforce the requirements of the law and not to impede the activities of the advocates.
