    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.
