WHEN THEY CAN’T PERCEIVE THE ESSENCE
As we know leader of `Nor Jamanakner’ party Aram Karapetyan raised
a hullabaloo recently, regarding the refusal of the competent bodies
to provide him with documents on the permanent residency in Armenia.
Assistant to RA President Gevorg Mheryan gave clarifications
regarding this issue yesterday.
`Because the leader of `Nor Jamanakner’ party failed to perceive
the essence of the clarifications given by the country’s President
regarding this issue, I consider it necessary to comment on this
issue.
On May 2, 2003 during an open court hearing the First Instance
Court of Erebuni and Nubarashen communities investigated the case
submitted by A. Karapetyan against the decision of the commission of
Constituency 17, of Yerevan city. The court refused A. Karapetyan’s
claim to recognize his registration as the candidate of the National
Assembly valid.
According to article 40 part 1, paragraph 2 of the Election Code
of 2003 the decisions made by the First Instance Court on not
registering the election lists of RA Presidential and Parliamentary
elections by the proportional electoral system, or annulling the
registrations, can be appealed to the Appeal Court, the same way as
the decision made by the latter one can be appealed to the Cassation
Court that must come to a decision within two days.
The decision made by the First Instance Court of Erebuny and
Nubarashen communities hasn’t been appealed to any of the before
mentioned courts, by A. Karapetyan.
Meanwhile we must underscore that A. Karapetyan has been
registered in Constituency 17 as an NA candidate. According to the
facts described by the resolution of the court, based on the written
note of the first assistant of the chief of the police, according to
which during the recent five years A. Karapetyan hasn’t been an RA
permanent resident, the Commission of Constituency 17 has withdrawn
A. Karapetyan from the list of the candidates.
In the court A. Karapetyan has disputed exclusively the decision
made by Consistency 17, without reflecting upon the written note of
the first assistant of the Chief of the Police.
According to articles 153-155 of the civil procedure court A.
Karapetyan also had the opportunity to file a case against the first
assistant of the Chief of the Police, for his illegal activity. But
he didn’t. And he also didn’t represent a document on his permanent
residency in Armenia during the recent 5 years.
It is evident that Mr. Karapetyan failed to consult with competent
bodies. Even the student-lawyers would have explained all this to him
and he wouldn’t appear with similar irresponsible announcements.’
