CANDIDATE FOR POST OF HEAD OF ARMENIA'S CHAMBER OF ADVOCATES SUGGESTS SIMPLIFYING BAR TAXATION
YEREVAN, August 27. /ARKA/. The candidate for the post of chairman of
Armenia's Chamber of Advocates Ara Zohrabyan suggests in his election
campaign program simplifying taxation in advocacy.
Currently advocates are taxed like the other economic entities and
tax bodies are allowed, when required, to put pressure on them,
Zohrabyan said.
He also suggested developing public defender's institution,
strengthening disciplinary responsibility of advocates, giving them
a chance to follow the chamber council meetings online and a number
of other changes.
Zohrabyan urged his counterparts to focus on the problems in the
field instead of going into personals.
So far the chamber has had achievements and the election should move it
forward, Zohrabyan said at Novosti international press center Tuesday.
One of the achievements is that Armenian advocates have consolidated
into an organization and the chamber managed to lobby to change the
law about protection of advocates' rights, to make advocate school
admission more transparent and to create a research center as part
of the chamber of advocates.
The election of the chairman will be held on September 14. Four
candidates have been registered so far. Over 1,300 advocates currently
registered have the right to vote in the election. -0--
