YEREVAN, JUNE 17, NOYAN TAPAN. The RA Appeal Court on Civil Cases
approved on June 17 the challenge against Judge Tigran Sahakian
who chaired the case on the complaint filed against the decision
to declare the results of the elections of Chairman of the RA
Lawyers Chamber invalid. In addition to the challenge, the lawyer
Cromwell Grigorian, the representative of the third person in the
case, submitted an application received from the lawyer Hamlet
Stepanian. According to this application, the above mentioned judge
was conducting propaganda in favor of one of the candidates for the
post of the Chamber Chairman – Ruben Sahakian which provided the
ground for challenge. To recap, Enok Azarian was elected Chairman of
the RA Chamber of Lawyers. However, the court of Yerevan’s Kentron and

filed by Ruben Sahakian and several other lawyers and made a decision
