On October 7, 2009, the Common Jurisdiction Court of Yerevan’s Kentron
and Nork Marash communities will hear the action of the "Freedom of
Information Center of Armenia (FOICA) against the Orinats Yerkir
Party (OYK) The previous court sitting was adjourned as the OYK
representative wasn’t sent a writ of summons.

On June 26, the FOI Center filed a lawsuit with a Yerevan court and
requested the OYK to provide information on the party’s 2008 financial
report within five days. The party was to furnish information on
sources of donations in excess of 100-times the minimum wage as
established by law.

The Orinats Yerkir missed the deadline and provided incomplete
information.
