Kristine  Arzumanova was born and received her first professional education in Tbilisi, Georgia.

LLB with honors, she received from the Customs Academy of Georgia, Faculty of Law, Criminal Law, specializing in customs law.

LLM thesis on the topic “Legal Sources of Criminal Law,” she defended with honors, and continued her studies and practice in law, education, consulting, and mediation, where she learned the basics of psychology and profiling and alternative methods of dispute resolution.

Advanced course at Montreal University- Faculty of Applied Diplomacy.

Mediation became a part of her life, and she devoted herself entirely to the status of a Mediator.

Kristine Arzumanova has come a long way from training to practice, and constant immigration, directly or indirectly, influenced her choice of direction in mediation - these are multicultural conflicts, interethnic relations, and peacemaking.

Currently, she is conducting academic research in the field of body language and human behavioral culture, which directly influences our decisions in mediation and life.

Practice, and many years of experience, in different fields, and deep knowledge of linguistic culture prompted her to start writing a book and release a special course for professional mediators.

As the year draws to a gentle close,
And winter wraps the world in sparkling white,
I send to each of you, dear friends and colleagues,
Warm wishes that your hearts be full of light.

May the spirit of Christmas bring joy to your days,
Peace to your nights, and laughter in your ways.
May the New Year, bright with promise and cheer,
Open doors to new journeys, and dreams ever near.

Together, we’ve built bridges, shared visions, and grown,
In the art of mediation, diplomacy, and the seeds we have sown.
Let 2026 be a year of hope and connection,
Of thriving endeavors and meaningful reflection.

Thank you for your dedication, your passion, your grace-
For making IAMPE a truly inspiring place.
From my heart to yours, I wish warmth, health, and delight,
Merry Christmas to all, and a Happy New Year so bright!

With deepest gratitude and festive cheer,
Kristine Arzumanova
President, IAMPE
