The Committee controlling the lawfulness of the referendum is going
to apply to the European Court of Human Rights this year about
the rejection of applications referring to the referendum by the
Armenian courts. As the European Court does not accept cases about
law violations, the Committee has decided to play a little trick.
"Some people think it is late to speak about the
referendum. Nevertheless, this was how the authorities made
their violations common", says Ruben Torosyan, coordinator of the
Committee. The Committee has finished the investigations and confirmed
once more that the voting has been carried out with mass violations
and fabrications, that is, the Referendum did not take place.
As the suit of the Committee was rejected by the Court of the
First Instance, it has applied to the Court of Cassation. Although
the latter announced the decisions of the Court of First Instance
illegal in January 2006, refused to consider the applications. The
Prosecutor's Office and the RA Ombudsman failed to consider the
issue too. "Factually, the Court system did not consider any of the
applications. About 100 applications were rejected", Ruben Torosyan
mentioned.
The coordinator of the Committee announced that they are not going
to stop the struggle.
