The former employees of Armenian Foreign Ministry breached RA Law on
"Diplomatic Service". Foreign Minster Vardan Oskanyan signed the
decree on their dismissal, after consulting the law enforcers.

Acting Head of the Department of Press and Information of RA Foreign
Ministry Tigran Balayan reported, commenting on the fact of the
dispute regarding the legitimacy of the decree on the dismissal of
the former employees of RA Foreign Ministry.

We must remind you that the former four employees of RA Foreign
Ministry have filed an appeal against their dismissal. Vladimir
Karapetyan, Marta Ayvazyan, Karine Afrikyan, and Arakel Semirjyan
filed a case to the Administrative Court against the Foreign Ministry.

T. Balayan said they have joined the political agreement, something
that contradicts the legislation. T. Balayan also underscored that,
as a respondent, RA Foreign Ministry hasn’t received any note from
the Administrative Court.
