STATEMENT BY THE ARARAT CENTER FOR STRATEGIC RESEARCH REGARDING THE APRIL 28, 2010 RULING BY THE COURT OF CASSATION OF THE REPUBLIC OF ARMENIA
http://blog.ararat-center.org/?imlang=eng
On May 21, 2010 the ARARAT Center for Strategic Research, represented
by "G & I" Law Firm, received the decision of the Court of Cassation
dated April 28, 2010 rejecting its appeal to prevent denial of
the Armenian Genocide by the Caucasus Institute Fund. The Court of
Cassation, chaired by Judge E. Hayriyan and participated by Judges A.
Barseghyan, S. Antonyan, V. Avanesyan, E. Khundaryan, M. Drmeyan, T.
Petrosyan and E. Soghomonyan, without dealing with the substance
of the claims, issued a conclusory ruling that the complaint is not
subject to judicial review. As a result, a situation has been created,
whereby the judicial system of the Republic of Armenia has denied
the ARARAT Center for Strategic Research its right to argue in court
both its original case and the subsequent appeals, which is a gross
violation of due process and Armenian law, as well as a series of
international obligations undertaken by the Republic of Armenia.
The ARARAT Center for Strategic Research has stated that it plans
to pursue all avenues to rectify this damaging precedent. As legal
remedies have been exhausted in Armenia, an appeal is being prepared
for submission to international tribunals in the near future.
