Plaintiff Sakunts’ response to the criticism over the suit against Serzh Sargsyan
09:15, January 24, 2014 | News, Other newsAs previously reported by HCAV, the RA Administrative Court of Appeals had taken into proceedings the suit of HCA Vanadzor with a demand to declare actions of September 3, 2013 of S. Sargsyan directed at accession to the Customs Union as unlawful.
After the dissemination of the information, various discussions began in the press, pursuant to which, Chairman of Helsinki Citizens’ Assembly Vanadzor Artur Sakunts was in vain delighted, since the case would be heard by the Court, the relevant parties would appear, and they would de jure prove that Serzh Sargsyan’s actions had been lawful. Thus, through the suit of Helsinki Citizens’ Assembly Vanadzor Sargsyan’s actions would prove legitimate. Therefore, doubt was cast over the fact that the suit would work for the benefit of the Republic of Armenia and not Serzh Sargsyan.
In a talk with NewsBook Artur Sakunts addressed the spread opinion.
“Applying to the Court, we involve also the judicial power in the discussion of the issue on joining the Customs Union, since the National Assembly did not actually present any demand to Serzh Sargsyan, so that the latter at least presented some information to the National Assembly about his decision. The Government performed Sargsyan’s order over this issue, therefore, only the last remaining authority, on behalf of the judicial power, remains, which cannot turn the issue as a subject for discussion by its own initiative. Hence, by applying to the court, we pursue a goal to involve the judicial power as a part of discussion of this issue”, stated Sakunts and added that through its decision the Court would express its disposition around the issue and later would not be able to “get away with it”.
“Later they will be denied the chance to say nobody has applied to us, we could not say anything, and present our standpoints”, explained Sakunts.
