Lawyer: Colonel-General Onik Gasparyan s lawsuit assigned to judge Mher Petrosyan
A lawsuit of Colonel-General Onik Gasparyan, the former chief of the army’s General Staff sacked most recently, has been assigned to judge Mher Petrosyan of the Administrative Court, his lawyer Aram Vardevanyan said on Facebook on Tuesday.
Earlier last week, Gasparyan announced his decision to file a lawsuit to the Administrative Court to challenge the legality of his dismissal by Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan.
Citing media reports, the lawyer said the authorities have decided to put pressure on the judge, fearing he could approve Gasparyan’s claim.
“I would like to note that the grounds known to the public regarding the unconstitutionality of the General Staff chief’s dismissal are quite sufficient for the Administrative Court to approve the claim,” Vardevanyan wrote.
In statement issued shortly after his dismissal, Gasparyan said, “the whole process of [my] dismissal is unconstitutional, which once again confirms that a solution to the current crisis, meeting the interests of the country, can only be ensured by the resignation of the prime minister and early parliamentary elections.”
He went on to promise to challenge the grounds for his dismissal in Armenia’s administrative court.
Protesters since have been attempting to block the entrance to the country’s parliament and ministry of foreign affairs.
Criticism
After coming to power riding a wave of optimism following 2018’s Velvet Revolution, Pashinyan’s administration has since faced severe criticism for failing to adequately prepare the Armenian armed forces for conflict with Azerbaijan. One decision critics point to is Pashinyan’s choice to reject more modern air defence systems offered by Russia, and instead acquire dozens of second-hand Soviet-era Osa systems from Jordan
