Onik Gasparyan's lawyer hopes judge will resist pressures and make substantiated judicial act

Lawyer of ex-chief of General Staff of Armenian Armed Forces says he does not know yet whether the information about the pressures on judge who is to examine their lawsuit is true or not.

“I am hopeful that even in case of any pressure the judge will resist them and will make a substantiated, reasoned judicial act,” Onik Gasparyan’s lawyer Artur Hovhannisyan told Aysor.am

“We must defend the rights of our client with means not banned by law as well as undertake relevant legal steps which in this case is submitting relevant lawsuit to the Administrative court, which we actually did,” he said, adding that their lawsuit is more than substantiated.

The lawyer said from the position of the court they will understand whether pressures were exerted or not.

He said if the court upholds their motion on the next day Onik Gasparyan must pass to the implementation of his duties as Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces.
