Lawyer and international human rights defender Robert Amsterdam wrote: “I warmly congratulate my colleague and friend, opposition MP Aram Vardevanyan, on his election to the post of NA Vice President.

During the joint work with Aram, I was personally convinced of his high professionalism, responsibility and uncompromising human qualities. He is one of those professionals for whom protection of law is a fundamental mission.

In a country where people are persecuted for their political views, where there are political prisoners, and where national and spiritual values ​​are subordinated, the role of the opposition deputy speaker is extremely responsible.

With these powers, Aram gets influential leverage to raise political pressures and violations, draw the attention of the international community and protect the value system of the Armenian people. I am sure that he will use all his experience and energy for the benefit of Armenia and the Armenian people.

I sincerely wish Aram success in this responsible mission.”
