LSA Lawyers and Crypto Industry Expert Eduard Avetisyan Discussed the Draft Law Regulating the Field of Cryptocurrencies

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.
