IJEVAN, MARCH 16, NOYAN TAPAN. The court of first instance of Tavish
marz on March 15 dismissed the lawsuit of Vaghinak Ananian, a resident
of the city of Ijevan, against the mayor’s office, in which the
plaintiff asked to declare invalid the results of the tender held
in Ijevan on June 24, 2005. He claimed that the land plots in the
city were leased by auction rather than by tender rules. According
to V. Ananian, based on the tender results, Hrachia Nersisian, head
physician of the city hospital, brother of Ijevan mayor Varuzhan
Nersisian was given the land plot, on which the plaintiff also
had claims.

Despite the fact that he paid 5 thousand drams in order to participate
in the tender, at the last moment he was not allowed to do so due to
some mistake in his document. The Ijevan mayor’s brother was announced
the winner of the tender.

Zoya Zakinian, judge of the court of first instance of Tavush marz,
refused to provide NT correspondent any grounds for such a court
decision, saying that she is busy.
