LARISA ALAVERDIAN: “CITIZENS SUFFERED FROM BUILDING OF KENTRON HAVE
RIGHT TO ADDRESS TO RA PRESIDENT AND DEMAND SOLUTION OF THEIR PROBLEM”

YEREVAN, APRIL 28, NOYAN TAPAN. Citizens suffered as a result of the
building program of the Yerevan Kentron (center), based on “the newly
revealed circumstance” may address to the court with a claim to
compensate the damage.

Attorneys Artur Grigorian and Vahe Grigorian presenting interests of
former inhabitants of that territory stated about it at the April 27
press-conference in the DPA office. According to the attorneys, the
newly revealed circumstance is the April 18 decision of the RA
Constitutional Court by which a number of principles of the RA Land
and Civil Codes served as a legal basis for the RA Government’s
corresponding decision were recognized anti-constitutional.

V.Grigorian informed that there is also a case in the court, and the
RA judicial system’s attitude towards that issue will be clear from
its verdict. According to him, there are numerous cases of ignoring
the Constitutional Court’s decisions. A.Grigorian emphasized in his
turn that till October 1, making the anti-constitutional principles of
the mentioned codes corresponding to the Constitution, continuation of
similar violations may be estimated as a wilfulness.

He explained that decisions of the Constitutional Court come into
force from the moment of publication and are not subject to review. RA
first Ombudsperson Larisa Alaverdian persuaded “victims of building”
to continue the struggle. Particularly, the former Ombudsperson finds
that citizens must address to the RA President and demand to solve the
problem, taking into account the decision of the Constitutional Court.
