Court Denies Appeal in Ararat Center vs. Director of Caucasus Institute
15:40 - 06.03.10
On March 5, the RA Civic Court of Appeal upheld an earlier ruling made
by Court of First Instance of Center and Nork-Marash Communities of
Yerevan on the Ararat Center for Strategic Research lawsuit against
Caucasus Institute Director Alexander Iskandaryan.
In 2008, the Caucasus Institute published a book in Yerevan titled
`Caucasus Neighborhood: Turkey and The South Caucasus,' which
consisted of papers presented at a conference, organized by the
Caucasus Institute, in Istanbul. The book, edited by Iskandaryan,
included an article by one of the presenters at the conference, Aybars
Görgülü, in which he used the term genocide in quotation marks.
As a result, the Ararat Center filed a lawsuit against Iskandaryan,
and on December 3, 2009, the first court hearing was held.
