In 2002, the government of Armenia adopted a law on "Notary's office"
that completely matches with standards of the system, the International
Union of Latin Notaries (IULN) thinks. The IULN delegation visiting
Armenia these days, spoke to a press conference together with Armenia's
justice minister Davit Harutyunian.
Minister Harutyunian said that the current notary system of
Armenia assumes creation of equivalent mechanisms including notary's
office. The Latin notary system being the foundation of the Armenian
one, the primary issue for today is joining the IULN. Mr. Harutyunian
said that the membership process launched following the adoption of
the law. This is the last visit of the IULN delegation during which
the issue of Armenia's membership to the IULN will be discussed.
Jean-Paul Decor, president of international cooperation committee of
the IULN, noted that they assessed the law on "Notary's office" and the
quality of notarial services. He even labeled the Armenian law one of
the best in the world and the work of Armenian notaries conscientious.
The delegation members visited 3 notary's offices in Armenia and made
inspection. The secretary of the committee Mr. Krams said for his part,
"I think you can feel proud for your new generation of notaries". It
should be noted though that the delegation's opinion on notary system
in Armenia was formed as a result of talks with notaries themselves and
inspections but not as a result of encounters with citizens. Besides
the notary's offices of Yerevan, IULN delegation will visit notaries
in other regions of Armenia.
In general, membership to IULN is a long process but it's hard to
say what in practice will it give Armenian citizens that can hardly
agree with the praises of the International Union of Latin Notaries.
