I’m confident that Aram will direct all his experience and energy toward the good of Armenia: Robert Amsterdam

Robert Amsterdam, world-renowned lawyer and human rights advocate, congratulated Aram Vardevanyan on his election as deputy speaker of Armenia’s National Assembly.

“Congratulations to my colleague and friend, MP Aram Vardevanyan, on his election as deputy speaker of the National Assembly. Through our work together, I have seen firsthand his professionalism, sense of responsibility, and integrity. At a time when people are persecuted for their political views, when there are political prisoners, and when national and spiritual values are being belittled, the role of an opposition deputy speaker is especially important. This authority gives Aram the ability to raise issues of political pressure and rights violations, draw the attention of the international community, and defend the values of the Armenian people. I am confident that he will direct all his experience and energy toward the good of Armenia and its people. I sincerely wish him success in this important mission,” the lawyer wrote.
