The "Supreme Council" Deputy Club appealed to the European Court of
Human Rights to litigate "large-scale illegalities of the Public
TV-Radio Company of Armenia." The club states that the company
is regularly violating the rights to fair trial and the right to
information.
"We have requested all competent bodies of Armenia to avert further
illegalities and to protect our rights.
But all our efforts have failed.
The judicial system drew a groundless conclusion that the company
does not abuse its powers with regard to anti-propaganda against
Armenia’s first President Levon Ter-Petrossian. Hence the company
does not violate citizens’ right to information.
"We have also applied to delegates of the European Union member
countries and the Union of the European TV Companies with the request
to avert these unbridled phenomena," the statement runs.
