FARMER CLAIMS GAZPROM ARMENIA WON CASE WITH FABRICATED DOCUMENT: TAKES CASE TO ECTHR
02.11.2015 12:13 epress.am
The European Court of Human Rights has accepted a suit against
the Gazprom Armenia corporation by Armavir province resident,
agriculturist Samvel Harutyunyan. Simultaneously, Harutyunyan also
applied to the Armenian courts; he claims in his suit that the company
used an official fabrication, which resulted in the Court of Appeals
handing a verdict in their favor.
The Court of General Jurisdiction of First Instance of Arabkir and
Kanaker-Zeytun Administrative Districts handed down a verdict in favor
of Harutyunyan, considering his claim to be legal in which Gazprom
Armenia had illegally suspended his gas supply, which resulted in
his harvest to freeze in the greenhouse, costing him 4,400,000 AMD
($9,000+/-) worth of damages.
"I won the case in the Court of First Instance. Gazprom Armenia
appealed to the Court of Appeals, presenting a fabricated contract
between us based on a false copy. The Court of Appeals considered
their complaint sufficient. I presented to the Court of Cassation the
conclusion of the Expert Center of Ministry of Justice, which proves
that the document was fabricated. The Court of Cassation didn't even
accept my suit, while the ECtHR has," said Samvel Harutyunyan when
speaking to Epress.am.
The farmer also applied to the police, in order to initiate a criminal
case against Gazprom Armenia for fabricating a document. "Instead
of receiving a response in 10 days, it was delayed for 11 months,
later the prosecutor suspended the case. The prosecutor didn't even
provide the reasons behind the decision. I applied to the Court of
First Instance. 5 hearings have already been held, at least I get
the reasoning behind the prosecutor's decision through the court,
so I can continue my case," said Samvel Harutyunyan.
