Armenia
Proceedings on the case brought forth by Ararat Center for Strategic
Research NGO against Caucasus Institute have been initiated at the
Court of First Instance of Center and Nork-Marash Communities of
Yerevan, press secretary of the Court of Cassation Alina Yengoyan
stated in speaking with Tert.am.
"On October 7, the court noted the claim. For now, the date and time
of the court hearings aren't noted," Yengoyan said.
As previously reported by Tert.am, Ararat Center for Strategic
Research has brought forth a case against the Caucus Institute
because they presented and subsequently published an article titled
"Turkish-Armenian relations: an eternal deadlock?" by Aybars Gorgulu
from the Turkish Economic and Social Studies Foundation (TESEV),
who co-prepared the report with Caucasus Institute. In his report,
Gorgulu not only wrote the word Genocide in quotation marks, but also
denied the fact of the Armenian Genocide.
Hoping to get comments, Tert.am established contact with head of
Caucasus Institute's Political Studies Department Sergey Minasyan. He
stated that they have familiarized themselves with the information
today from media; they haven't received any official notice from
the courts.
"When we receive it [official court documents], we will then decide
on our next steps," Minasyan said.
