Tbilisi is hosting a Georgian-Armenian Legal Forum. The event was opened by Minister of Justice of Georgia, Rati Bregadze and Minister of Justice of the Republic of Armenia, Karen Andresyan. The Ministers spoke about the importance of cooperation between Georgia and Armenia in the field of justice.

The decision to hold a Georgian-Armenian Legal Forum was made during the visit of a delegation of the Ministry of Justice to Armenia. "Today's event will further enhance the existing legal relations between Georgia and Armenia," said Rati Bregadze, expressing hope that the Georgian-Armenian relations will enter a new phase and, consequently, the cooperation between the Ministries of Justice of the two countries will be even more successful.

The Minister of Justice of Armenia thanked Rati Bregadze for hosting him and noted that the Georgian-Armenian Legal Forum is an important step in deepening the partnership between the two countries.

"We have a lot to learn from our Georgian colleagues, starting with the brilliant idea of probation, which contributes well to the development of the probation system. Another great experience that I would like to mention is in the Public Service Hall. Georgia is a true champion in terms of service delivery... Another great area of cooperation is the enforcement of court rulings, as well as the arbitration center that Georgia has already established, and Armenia is in the early stages of this important project ... The cooperation agenda is quite broad and we will continue this partnership." - Said Karen Andresian.

The Legal Forum is a successful platform for cooperation between Georgia and Armenia. Representatives of the Ministries of Justice of the two countries will discuss topical issues such as: access to notary services; E-government services; Enforcement issues, reform of penitentiary and probation systems, rehabilitation and re-socialization programs for convicts, formal and non-formal legal education, and more.

After each thematic presentation, the forum participants will be sharing their opinions and experiences.

Georgian-Armenian Legal Forum will end tomorrow. During the visit, the Minister of Justice of Armenia will visit the National Archives, the Public Service Hall, the Penitentiary Service and get acquainted with the Georgian model of their work.
