On March 12, 2016, the General Jurisdiction Court of First Instance of Arabkir and Kanaker-Zeytun administrative districts of Yerevan, RA, presided by R. Mkhitaryan, announced its ruling based on the examination of HCA Vanadzor complaint against the RA Special Investigation Service. By its ruling the Court dismissed the Organization’s complaint and thus considered the actions of the RA Special Investigation Service lawful.

Note that in its report submitted to the RA Special Investigation Service on December 10, 2015, HCA Vanadzor expressed a suspicion that at the polling stations with 60 or higher percentage of voter turnout at the referendum of December 6, 2015, either stuffing or voting instead of absent people occurred and requested the SIS to take steps to establish the facts above, identify and hold liable the persons responsible for the crime. However, in response to the Organization’s report, the RA Special Investigation Service stated in a letter that the Organization’s application contained groundless allegations without any specific information on any crime either prepared or already committed, and it was a necessary condition to consider the application as a crime report. Therefore, no criminal and procedural decree was made following the Organization’s application.
