In response to the petitions, the authorities reasoned that this area is of public importance and these actions are legal. Today, it is announced in the Parliament that the gatherings organized by His Excellency Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan in that same place are unacceptable. 2018 the violent invasion of a group of people into the Mother See Holy Etchmiatsin Divanatun with the apparent indulgence of the government. The attack on the Catholicos of All Armenians, the blockade of the car and threats with stones. For security reasons, the removal of the police escort of the car serving the Catholicos of All Armenians. Discrediting assessments of the church and clergy with impermissible vocabulary and insults to dignity and reputation. The "threat to subject the Armenian Apostolic Holy Church to taxation" has already been responded to by the Holy Etchmiadzin Mother See," Tatoyan wrote.

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.

The Armenian National Assembly factions demand the RA authorities not to question the right to self-determination of the people of Artsakh

The factions of the National Assembly of the Republic of Artsakh, expressing the will and position of the people, demand from the authorities of the Republic of Armenia to adhere to the 1992 resolution of the Supreme Council of the Republic of Armenia. to the decision of July 8 and not to question the right to self-determination of the people of Artsakh. The NA factions of the Republic of Artsakh made a statement about this. In particular, it is stated in the statement: "In a few days, 100 days of Azerbaijan's blockade of the 120,000 population of the Artsakh Republic will pass. Disregarding the decision of the International Court of the Hague regarding the de-encirclement of Artsakh, the leadership of Azerbaijan continues the political course of depopulating Artsakh with the threat and use of force. In its intention to annex the Republic of Artsakh, Azerbaijan does not shy away from anti-human measures and terrorist actions. Natural gas and electricity supply disruptions, intimidation of the civilian population and restrictions on free movement, and recently, on March 5, the shooting of policemen while performing their official duties, prove that talks about direct dialogue are unacceptable under such conditions. At the same time, we are convinced that the Karabakh conflict, as an issue of the international agenda, should be resolved through negotiations with the mediation and guarantees of relevant international structures, in particular, with the involvement of Minsk Group co-chair countries endowed with such authority. The military and political leadership of Azerbaijan misinforms its own public and international institutions with various propaganda tricks, with the aim of creating an illusion of an "era of peace" in the conditions of humanitarian pressures and intimidation against the people of Artsakh. The factions of the National Assembly of the Republic of Artsakh, expressing the will and position of the people, demand from the authorities of the Republic of Armenia to adhere to the 1992 resolution of the Supreme Council of the Republic of Armenia. to the decision of July 8 and not to question the right to self-determination of the people of Artsakh. All factions of the Artsakh Parliament reaffirm their loyalty to the fundamental documents expressing the will of our people and will continue to be guided by the ideas and principles arising from them.
