In a congratulatory address to the General Assembly of Attorneys in Bulgaria on Saturday, Parliament Chair Raya Nazaryan expressed confidence in the good cooperation between the legislative branch and representatives of the Bar, which, in her words, will continue in the interest of Bulgarian citizens.

“The Bulgarian Bar has made a substantial contribution to strengthening the country governed by the rule of law and upholding the supremacy of the law and the country’s democratic values. Each of you faces significant responsibilities and challenges, because citizens rely on the quality protection of their interests and lawful rights,” Nazaryan wrote.

“I would like to inform you that, for the legislative branch, your expertise is valuable and useful for improving the legal framework and in resolving issues arising from the application of the law. I am pleased to note that during this session, the 51st National Assembly adopted amendments to the Bar Act that comply with EU law and ensure the implementation of the European directive on services in the internal market,” she added.

Nazaryan noted that the Supreme Bar Council had taken an active part in drafting the legislative amendments, and that opinions were also submitted by the Sofia Bar Association and other bar associations.

“As Chair of the National Assembly and a member of the Sofia Bar Association, it is my pleasure to address you and to wish you good health and professional success,” Nazaryan said.
