"Ararat" appealed to court again
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.
