tert.am
19.10.12
The Armenian Government is said to have been unable to answer the
European Court of Human Rights' (ECtHR) questions regarding the March
1, 2008 post-electoral turmoil.
According to the paper, the Court particularly asked the Government
to provide details on first President Levon Ter-Petrosyan's house
arrest and the subsequent attempts to quell a demonstration. Citing
Ter-Petrosyan's lawyer at the ECtHR, the paper says that the Court
sent the questions back in May, setting a deadline until September 11.
But the Government later asked for additional time. The Court
reportedly met the request half-way, extending the deadline until
November 5. The paper says further that Military Prosecutor Gevorg
Kostanyan, who represents the Armenian Government in the case, has
been engaged in finding answers to the above questions in the past
four months together with a group of lawyers assisting him. But there
seems to be no success so far, comments the paper.
