The administrative proceedings of the case requesting administrative penalties against the Minister of Defence are suspended.
As we have previously informed you, The RA Administrative Court was proceeding with two administrative lawsuits filed by Peace Dialogue NGO.
With the first case the organization filed a lawsuit which will obligate the Ministry of Defence to provide official information regarding the fatalities in the RA Armed Forces from 1994-2014 including the full names of the deceased soldiers, the location of the incident, the date, unit number, unit commander’s full name and title, the cause of death and all other unrestricted information, while the other lawsuit calls for administrative penalties against Minister Seyran Ohanyan of the Ministry of Defence for not providing the mentioned information as stated by law.
The preliminary hearing of the second case was held on July 30, 2015. A representative of the Minister of Defence was present. The judge introduced the basis and the subject of the case. Then Minister Seyran Ohanyan’s representative filed a motion to suspend the administrative proceedings on the grounds that the mentioned administrative case was linked to the other case filed by the organisation and that the facts in that case cannot be examined until a decision was made regarding the first case. Judge Arman Dilanyan accepted the motion and the proceedings of the administrative case over the administrative penalties against Minister Ohanyan were suspended.
