    DECISION ON JHANGIRIAN'S CLAIM TO BE ANNOUNCED TOMORROW

    A1+
    [08:21 pm] 31 July, 2008

    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.
