ARF: We will sue the Armenian government

By Yerkir Media | Wednesday, 02 December 2009

YEREVAN (Yerkir)-The Armenian Revolutionary Federation Supreme Council of Armenia announced Tuesday that after receiving the authorities' response on questions regarding the process of the Armenia-Turkey rapprochement, it plans to sue the government to prove the Foreign Ministry's and government's unconstitutional actions.

The ARF parliamentary bloc petitioned the government to provide all documents and reports detailing the Armenia-Turkey rapprochement from the onset of the process to the present.

"The responses already pose serious questions. We are going to introduce our concerns for discussion in the National Assembly," said ARF Supreme Council of Armenia chairman Armen Rustamian.

The responses to the 23-point questionnaire submitted to the government illustrate that the Armenian government was completely unprepared when it began and entered the process of rapprochement, said ARF bloc member Artsvik Minasyan.

The lawmaker added that the government did not adhere to provisions of Armenian law and called the answers "diplomatic and legal illiteracy."

Minasyan explained that the ARF-initiated lawsuit will provide the Constitutional Court grounds to reject the protocols as unconstitutional.
