Armenia’s Administrative Court chaired by judge Liana Hakobyan returned the lawsuit of ex-Chief of General Staff of Armenian Armed Forces Onik Gasparyan against Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and President Armen Sarkisyan.
The decision may be appealed within five days after receiving it, Aysor reported.
Gasparyan’s lawyer Artur Hovhannisyan filed a lawsuit against the PM and the President with the request to recognize the decree dismissing Gasparyan from post invalid.
On March 22 the government issued a statement noting that with the force of law Artak Davtyan is considered the Chief of General Staff of the Armed Forces while days before the Administrative Court chaired by judge Mher Petrosyan upheld the lawyer's petition and ruled to suspend the implementation of the decree until the final act is made.
Onik Gasparyan also applied to General Prosecutor’s Office demanding that a criminal case be filed against PM Nikol Pashinyan and Defense Minister Vagharshak Harutyunyan for abuse of power which negligently caused grave consequences.
