/PanARMENIAN.Net/ On April 2, the Administrative Court of Armenia
processed a suit of 4 former Foreign Ministry employees, who appeal
legitimacy of the edict on their dismissal issued by Foreign Minister
Vartan Oskanian.
Former head of NATO division of arms control and international
security department Marta Ayvazian, European department advisor
Arakel Semerjian, head of department of information division Vladimir
Karapetian and head of U.S. and Canada division of American department
Karine Afrikian are going to appeal the decree.
"The orders on dismissal were illegal. My clients demand reinstatement
in employment and compensation," said Levon Baghdasaryan, a defense
lawyer for the discharged, IA Regnum reports.
"I know that some of the discharged employees intend to appeal my
decree. Let's wait and see what the court will decide," Minister
Oskanian said when commenting on the motion.
The above-mentioned MFA employees were fired after they announced
support to former President Levon Ter-Petrosyan, a move is incompatible
with the status of a diplomat.
