Abstract

The purpose of the article is to study and present the sources of Armenian law that contain provisions on patriotism and Armenian statehood.

To achieve this goal, our task is to investigate the legal and patriotic labor standards of Hakob and Shahamir Shahamirian’s Girk Anvanial Vorokait Parats (Snare of Glory). It is no secret that the work "Vorokait Parats" is one of the most important documents of Armenian law, which for the first time in the reality of Armenia presents a holistic and orderly system of norms of various branches of law.

As a result of the research were applied both scientific (analysis, the principle of historicity) and special (comparative legal) methods.

The study of the above mentioned legal and patriotic norms gives us the opportunity to conclude that they play a key role in the development of our national, legal, political thought and are a kind of value radiating patriotism.
