    Heritage Headquarters Still Bolted: Court Case Delayed Again


    Yerevan--The hearing of Heritage Party Chairman Raffi K. Hovannisian's case
    against the administration of the Paronian Theater reconvened today at the
    Court of First Instance of Yerevan's Central and Nork-Marash communities. It
    was again presided over by Judge Edward Avetisian. The defendant had not
    appeared at, but had sent written objections to the previous hearing on May
    19, in response to which Vahagn Grigorian, Raffi Hovannisian's attorney,
    moved to bring additional causes of action against the theater's management
    as well as against the Department on State Property Management (DSPM) of the
    government. The Court, taking all submissions into account, had continued
    the trial until June 1.

    Opening today's hearing of the case, Judge Avetisian presented the
    particulars of the lawsuit, citing that it includes the plaintiff's claims
    against both defendants to remove the unlawful encroachment upon the right
    of access, control, and usage of his property, as well as those which derive
    under the law by consequence of defendant's nullification of contracts.

    Prior to the examination of the case, Grigorian submitted a petition
    demanding that the lead defendant Paronian Theater, which was being
    represented by its director Karapet Shahbazian, submit to the Court original
    copies of the lease, payments made thereunder, and all other documents
    pertaining to the space long rented by Raffi Hovannisian. These records are
    now "locked and sealed" behind the doors and windows of the premises located
    at 7 Vazgen Sargsian Street.

    Interrupting Grigorian's argument in support of his motion, Aram Ghlechian,
    the legal representative of defendant DSPM, requested a continuance in order
    to study further the details of the claims made by Hovannisian.

    The Court granted Ghlechian's petition and ordered a one-week postponement
    of the case.
