Oppositionist says they aim to take all unresolved cases to European court
12:40 - 27.08.11
The coordinator of the opposition alliance Armenian National Congress
has said they have a coded strategy in their fight for justice in
Armenia.
Speaking at a TV program, Levon Zurabyan said that: "In fact we have
started a coded operation called 'Strangling with lawsuits' since a
long time," said he, adding that the essence of the operation is to
lodge complaints against all acts of unlawfulness and pass through all
the court instances in Armenia and reach the European Court of Human
Rights.
"This is our strategy, and we have already lodged numerous, I can say,
hundreds of cases and are pushing them forward," said he.
According to him, most of those lawsuits have been satisfied and been
part of their achievements.
"By the way, one of the achievements is that the police, fours days
before the incident [scuffle between young opposition activists and
police] had to apology Tigran Arakelyan [one of arrested activists]
based on a court ruling," said Zurabyan.
The same Tigran Arakelyan, Zurabyan said, is now presented in a police
video footage as a criminal, but he was "acquitted in the court as the
police could not prove anything."
