JHANGIRIAN ATTENDS COURT SITTING
Support A1+!On July 25 Armenia's Administrative Court hears the case of ex Deputy Prosecutor General Gagik Jhangirian. He demands to revoke Decrees 28 and 29 signed by the RoA President on February 23, 2008. Under the disputed decrees Jhangirian was relieved of the post and reduced to the rank.
The court sitting is presided over by Justice Artsrun Mirzoyan. Just at the beginning of the sitting Artsrun Mirzoyan banned shooting and A1+’s cameraman was invited out. The decision made Jhangirian believe that the sitting would be held in the same distorted way and the court will bring in an adverse verdict.
The claimant’s petitions were rejected one after another. The respondent side, the Head of the President’s Personnel Hovik Abrahamian, had sent a written-letter to Artsrun Mirzoyan and the claimant earlier and didn’t attend the court sitting.
Gagik Jhangirian petitioned to involve and question Prosecutor General Aghvan Hovsepian as a witness but the petition was rejected. Presently, the claimant’s advocates are going to demand the judge's resignation.
Meantime, people grouped in the corridor demand an urgent release of Gagik Jhangirian.
