Interview with advocate Nikolay Baghdasaryan:
– In your opinion what was the most important legal event of 2015?
– The adoption of the RA Constitution.
– What are your expectations from 2016?
– If you mean legal system then it is hardly to expect anything. But I have great expectations from the efficiency of the solution of the extrajudicial conflict resolutions.
– Is there any progress in justice in our country?
– I do not think so. If nothing was done how is it possible to change anything?
– Did corruption increase or decrease in justice in 2015?
– It is difficult to answer your question.
– Are you satisfied with the Executive and Legislative branches’ work?
– No, I am not.
– How do you celebrate New Year?
– Not by eating pork haunch. I prefer to relax more.
– Which was the scandalous judicial case of the year?
– I think Vardan Petrosyan’s case.
– What funny and interesting cases do you remember from you practice?
– The two sides were arguing for a case but the defendant was asleep. When he woke up for a moment the judge asked jokingly: “Are we disturbing you?” The latter, not understanding the main sense of the question, answered sincerely: “No, I had not listened to you”.
