    EVERYBODY MUST COMPLETE NATIONAL SERVICE DUTY BEFORE TAKING HIGH POST

    Supreme Council MPs' club issued a statement Monday attracting public
    attention to those high-ranking state officials, who had dodged
    military service in a clear breach of the law.

    The club appealed to court demanding to announce Armenian president's
    five orders on appointing culture minister Hovik Hoveyan, justice
    minister David Harutyunyan, foreign minister Vardan Oskanyan, defense
    minister Serge Sargssyan and prime minister Andranik Margaryan to
    their positions invalid.

    The court accepted only two of the five motions submitted by the club.
    Motions on Andranik Margaryan and Hovik Hoveyan were taken by the
    court while the rest three ones on Serge Sargssyan, Vardan Oskanyan
    and David Harutyunyan were declined, despite all five cases are
    completely alike. "The explanation of the rejection was absolutely
    absurd: only Constitutional Court can dispute any presidential decree's
    correspondence with the Constitution", the statement says.

    The club members think the court accepting two and rejecting three
    above-mentioned motions displayed political approach instead of
    juridical, as Hoveyan's and Markaryan's candidacies had been put up
    by Orinats Erkir and Republican parties while the rest three officials
    were president Kocharyan's direct nominees.
