CIS Lawyers’ 7th International Conference Kicks Off In Yerevan
CIS lawyers’ 7th international conference kicked off today in Yerevan.
Welcoming the participants on behalf of the Armenian Government, Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan said: “I am confident that this gathering will have a positive influence on the development of jurisprudence, drawing on the CIS countries’ huge experience in this field.

As seen from this perspective, all of us meet a number of specific challenges as we try to find our own solutions enabling transition from the old system to a modern one.”
The Prime Minister highlighted the issues of concern to the conference, expressing confidence that the forum will provide a platform for exchange of experience and innovative ideas.
The conference seeks to identify business opportunities and build up a strategic framework for long-term cooperation. It is attended by 135 representatives from a number of prestigious law companies.
