The decision made by the PB Council based on Seda Safaryan's Danos was declared invalid. Aramazd Kiviryan

The RA Administrative Court, presided over by Judge Mher Petrosyan, invalidated the decision made by the Council of the Chamber of Advocates of RA to subject Seda Safaryan to disciplinary action against lawyer Aramazd Kiviryan on the basis of Danos. Aramazd Kiviryan wrote about this on his Facebook page. "At the time, I provided judicial representation in a number of civil cases, in which Seda Safaryan, a lawyer at the time and currently a judge of the Supreme Court, was the representative of the opponent. I would like to clarify that I have always represented the interests of a family, one of whose former members, on whose behalf Seda Safaryan acted, decided to initiate lawsuits against that family, and naturally I continued to protect the interests of that family, moreover, having the written consent of the former family member that I am authorized to represent the interests of any person, even if there is a conflict of interest. During that same period, the RA Chamber of Advocates started a campaign against a number of lawyers, including me. Dozens of disciplinary proceedings were initiated, decisions were made to impose disciplinary responsibility. It was almost the same situation as today in the Republic of Belarus. And here, having lost all court cases and taking advantage of the RA Chamber of Advocates' desire to exert pressure, Seda Safaryan decided to initiate disciplinary proceedings against me and submit a disciplinary report (hereinafter: Klyauza or Danos) to the RA Chamber of Advocates, where, naturally, taking advantage of the opportunity, he did not wait long for the decision to subject me to disciplinary responsibility. The decision made by the Chamber was appealed in a court order, then, based on the position expressed by the RA Court of Cassation, that similar cases are subject to examination in the RA administrative procedure, the examination of the case was transferred to the RA Administrative Court.
