Court’s ruling repetition of NCTR's decision
Like the NCTR, the Administrative Court also took a decision on the grounds of funding in its verdict on "A1+"'s appeal, "A1+"'s lawyer Tigran Ter-Yesayan told "A1+".
"The court touches upon the presence of funding, but ignores other standards," he said.
According to the lawyer, this verdict is not based on legitimacy.
"We have a verdict that has many gaps and is based on convictions and assumptions," Tigran Ter-Yesayan.
Let us remind that "A1+"'s appeal demanded declaring decision 96A of the National Commission on Television and Radio dated December 16, 2010. According to the decision, "A1+" lost in the 11th tender for digital broadcasting and "ArmNews" won.
The Administrative Court's verdict is composed of 34 pages. The lawyer says 22 pages show the responses of "A1+" and the NCTR and only 12 pages show the judge's approaches and explanations.
"We will protest this verdict. The judge wasn't convincing and the corroborations for his denial were weak," "A1+"'s lawyer noted, adding that "A1+" wasn't expecting a turning point, but there was hope for a more weighed out approach.
