Knarik Sargsyan

Dedicated professional with a strong background in international relations, justice sector reform, and political studies. With over seven years of civic service experience at the Ministry of Justice and the Probation Service of Armenia, I have developed a deep understanding of institutional processes, legal cooperation, and human rights practices. Currently engaged in academic research and active in the political life in Armenia, I bring a balanced perspective that bridges policy, academia, and civic engagement. I am committed to fostering democratic values, accountable governance, and inclusive leadership through advocacy and collaborative action.
