Today the RA Administrative Court continued the investigation of RA Deputy Attorney General Gagik Jhangirian’s claim, which challenges the legitimacy of Robert Kocharian’s decrees. Judge Artsrun Mirzoyan had to ask photojournalist Gagik Shamshian and journalist Gayane Arustamian to leave the court-room, as they were trying to defend their right of photographing, which according to the Judge, would hinder the trial process.
For about 40 minutes Lawyer Lusine Sahakian was delivering her speech, which tried to justify that Robert Kocharian’s decision to relieve Jhangirian of his post and deprive him of his class degree were illegal and contradicted the Constitution. She introduced all the grounds for the decree to be recognized unlawful.
“The decree limits Jhangirian’s freedom of expression and his right for rallies. He has been given discriminative treatment. Many officials participated in the opposition rally and they all used their freedom of expression and right for rallies. It is unfair,” declared the lawyer.
By the way the decree has not been recognized valid yet, as the Constitution states that decrees are considered valid from the moment they are presented to the person they concern, after which he signs it, whereas Jhangirian has not been given any decree. “Quite possibly they did not know where I was,” commented Jhangirian.
The decision of the court will be announced tomorrow at 9:30 a.m.
