    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ On April 2, the Administrative Court of Armenia
    processed a suit of 4 former Foreign Ministry employees, who appeal
    legitimacy of the edict on their dismissal issued by Foreign Minister
    Vartan Oskanian.

    Former head of NATO division of arms control and international
    security department Marta Ayvazian, European department advisor
    Arakel Semerjian, head of department of information division Vladimir
    Karapetian and head of U.S. and Canada division of American department
    Karine Afrikian are going to appeal the decree.

    "The orders on dismissal were illegal. My clients demand reinstatement
    in employment and compensation," said Levon Baghdasaryan, a defense
    lawyer for the discharged, IA Regnum reports.

    "I know that some of the discharged employees intend to appeal my
    decree. Let's wait and see what the court will decide," Minister
    Oskanian said when commenting on the motion.

    The above-mentioned MFA employees were fired after they announced
    support to former President Levon Ter-Petrosyan, a move is incompatible
    with the status of a diplomat.
