What is to become of "Haykakan Zhamanak" daily if the latter is forced
to vacate the premises at 37 Israyelyan? In reply to A1+’s concern,
Head of the "Dareskizb" Ltd Anna Hakobian said: "We shall not be
appear in the street as soon as the final decision is rendered. Gagik
Beglarian /head of Kentron’s municipal council/ will not achieve his
aim no matter how hard he tries to evict the premises."

Note, on October 17 the RoA Administrative Court will make a decision
on upholding or dismissing the claim of "Dareskizb" against Kentron’s
municipal council according to which the staff of "Haykakan Zhamanak"
is to vacate the premises. The disputed belongs to the municipal
council and will henceforth serve to promote children’s aesthetic
upbringing.

Anna Hakobian doesn’t have great expectations from the Administrative
Court. "We shall attend the court sitting to learn their decision
and then we shall act on our own," she said. Then she reminded that
the municipal council had bought its decision still on March 28. "The
decision followed the state of emergency in the country and Beglarian
believed it would be a crushing blow to our newspaper."

The organisation is going to appeal to the European Court of Human
Rights in case Armenian courts do not uphold their claim.

"They will have to recoup for all losses and inconveniences inflicted
on us," added Anna Hakobian.
