ArmInfo. The European Court of Human Rights has accepted the claim of
Bjni Mineral Water Plant and businessman Khachatur Sukiassyan against
the Republic of Armenia.
The press service of Bjni reports that the 3rd section of the court
has suggested that by Nov 19 2009 the claimants submit the summary
of the case.
To remind, July 24 2009 Bjni Mineral Water Plant and Khachatur
Sukiassyan appealed to the European Court of Human Rights against
the Republic of Armenia. They asked the Court to oblige the RA to
pay the company 220mln EUR compensation in AMD.
In Oct 2008, following tax claims, the Armenian Government sequestered
the property of Bjni and put it up for electronic auction. MP and
businessman Ruben Hayrapetyan was bought Bjni for $14.5mln but later
asked to annul the deal. Before the sequestration Bjni belonged to
Khachatur Sukiassyan, who openly supported the radical opposition
led by Levon Ter-Petrossyan during the last presidential election.
