The "Ararat" Center’s appeal against the "Caucasian Institute"
Foundation is at the Appeals Court.
The center is appealing the decision of the first instance court of
the Kentron and Nork-Marash districts of Yerevan, as reported to
"A1+" from the "Ararat" center office. The center correspondents
also informed that they don’t know if the appeal was approved or not
because they have not received a response for a week now.
Let us remind that the "Ararat" Center appealed to the first instance
court of the Kentron and Nork-Marash districts of Yerevan with the
demand to oblige the "Caucasian Institute" to deny its publication
calling the Armenian Genocide into question, to prevent the quoted
use of the term "Genocide" and to compensate for damages.
In 2008, the "Caucasian Institute" released the book entitled
"Caucasian Neighborhood: Turkey and the South Caucasus". Among a number
of other articles, the book also included the article by Turk Aybars
Gyorgyulu entitled "Turkey-Armenia Relations: Eternal labyrinth?" in
which the writer, according to the plaintiff, denies the Armenian
Genocide. With that said, the director of "Ararat Center" Armen
Ayvazyan claims that the editor of the book, Alexander Iskandaryan,
also denies that fact.
However, on December 4, the court quashed the case, saying that it
was not subject to debate.
