On April 24, 2025, the Criminal Court of General Jurisdiction of First Instance of Yerevan, Republic of Armenia, presided over by Judge Tatevik Muradyan, considered the investigative body’s motion to apply detention as a preventive measure against our client V.H., who is accused of committing a crime under Article 290, Part 3, Clause 2 of the RA Criminal Code. The Court rejected the motion and applied alternative preventive measures.
Victory Against the Insurance Company
One of the insurance companies operating in the Republic of Armenia filed a claim against our client, Y.S., demanding reimbursement of a paid insurance amount, based on the right of recourse. A few days after our office’s attorney, Edgar Ayvazyan, took on the representation of Y.S. and filed a motion to apply the statute of limitations, the insurance company withdrew its claim (Civil Case No. ԱՐԱԴ/0951/02/24). Thus, another victory was added to our office’s extensive and effective practice of representing individuals in cases against insurance companies.

By Decision of the Administrative Court, Court Bailiffs Will Receive the Military Pension Due for Their Long-Term Service
The Unified Social Service had refused to grant the military pension for long-term service to three of our office’s clients, effectively disregarding a significant portion of their work experience. As a result of the arguments presented by our office's lawyers, Tatevik Malkhasyan and Edgar Ayvazyan, the Administrative Court of the Republic of Armenia stated that the Unified Social Service had misinterpreted the legal regulations, and therefore ordered it to grant our clients the pensions they are entitled to (Administrative cases No. ՎԴ5/0637/05/24, ՎԴ5/0637/05/24, ՎԴ5/0639/05/24). We thank Judge Narek Gasparyan for issuing a fair judicial act.

On March 1, 2025, the First Instance Court of General Jurisdiction of Yerevan City applied detention as a preventive measure against our client E.N., who was accused of committing a serious crime (drug trafficking under aggravating circumstances), for a period of 2 months. On April 10, 2025, the Criminal Court of Appeals of the Republic of Armenia upheld the special appeal submitted by attorney Edgar Ayvazyan and released our client from detention, applying house arrest and a travel ban as preventive measures instead.
The Court Rejected the Defamation and Insult Lawsuit Against Our Client

The Administrative Court Obliged the Yerevan Municipality to Recognize Our Client’s Property Rights
Our client, A.G., had applied to the Yerevan Municipality, requesting the restoration of the grounds for the residential house and the allocated land plot that belong to him. After not receiving a response from the Mayor of Yerevan within the prescribed time, lawyer Edgar Ayvazyan filed a lawsuit with the Administrative Court of the Republic of Armenia. On April 7, 2025, the Administrative Court, having examined the lawsuit, fully satisfied it, obliging the Mayor of Yerevan to issue a decision to restore our client’s property rights (administrative case No. ՎԴ/7416/05/24).

FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions Explained
The common property between the participants of shared property can be divided by agreement between the shareholders on the means and conditions for separating the share, or in the absence of an agreement - by court order. The separating owner can demand that the other participants of the shared property pay the value of his share. Instead of separating the participant's share in shared ownership in-kind, the other owners can pay compensation to that participant with the consent of that participant. In case of the obvious inexpediency of dividing the common property or separating a share from it, the court may rule on selling the property at public auction and subsequently distributing the proceeds among the participants of common ownership in proportion to their shares. The joint property can be divided between co-owners by their agreement, or in the absence of an agreement - by court order.
The property acquired by the spouses during a marriage is their joint property unless otherwise provided by law or by an agreement signed between them. The property of each spouse before marriage, as well as the property received by one of the spouses as a gift or inheritance during the marriage, is their property. The property of each spouse may be recognized as their joint property if it is found that investments were made during the marriage from the common property of the spouses or the personal property of the other spouse, which significantly increased the value of that property (major repairs, reconstruction, re-equipment, etc.) unless otherwise provided by an agreement signed between the spouses. The obligations of one of the spouses may be subject to seizure of the property owned by them, as well as his/her share in the common property of the spouses. In case of divorce, only joint property is subject to division between the spouses.
An acquitted defendant has the right to demand compensation for damage caused by illegal criminal prosecution, application of coercive measures, conviction, as well as other illegal restrictions on rights or freedoms. As compensation, the acquitted defendant has the right to receive: 1. The salary, pension, allowance, or other income he was deprived of. 2. The damage caused by seizure, arrest, confiscation, or other disposal of property. 3. The expenses incurred as a result of being in custody. 4. The fee paid to a lawyer. 5. The paid procedural costs. At the request of the acquitted defendant, the body that initiated the criminal prosecution must present public apologies to him/her. Non-pecuniary damage is also subject to compensation, regardless of the pecuniary damage subject to compensation and regardless of the guilt of an official in causing the damage.
The rights of both the employer and the employee are protected in the Republic of Armenia. If you have been notified of dismissal from work on the employer’s initiative, first demand an individual act on termination of the employment relationship. The employment relationship is not considered terminated until the individual act on your dismissal is provided to you in the prescribed manner. Labor legislation and other normative legal acts regulating labor relations establish a special procedure for terminating employment relations, non-compliance with which or violations committed by the employer during the process may serve as grounds for declaring the termination of the employment relationship illegal. To protect your labor rights in such situations, consult with a labor relations lawyer. Remember, the legislation establishes deadlines for administrative and judicial protection of labor rights, failure to meet them without a valid reason may deprive you of the opportunity to protect your rights.
The common property between participants of joint ownership is divided or one's share is separated from it after determining each participant's share in the right to the common property. When dividing the common property and separating a share from it, the shares of the participants in joint ownership are considered equal, unless otherwise provided by law or agreement of the participants. The joint property between co-owners can be divided by their agreement, or in the absence of an agreement - by court order.

If the offender has managed to steal money, it is necessary to contact law enforcement agencies as soon as possible, providing them with all means of contact with the offender and the entire content of the communication.
