3. FOICA vs. Gyumri Municipality

FOICA vs. Gyumri Municipality

On September 14, 2005 FOIC applied to the mayor of Gyumri city Mr. V. Ghukasyan asking to provide the following information:
1. Copies of all the decisions made by Gyumri elders council during the second quarter of 2005
2. Copy of 2005 budget and its report for the second quarter.

The mayor’s reply to the information request was ridiculous. Here is what is said in the official response: “The 2005 decisions made by the elders council of Gyumri is available in Gyumri web site which is under construction”. On November 16, 2005 FOIC regional lawyer Mr. Artush Grigoryan petitioned to the court, appealing against the mayor’s inactivity.

It is noteworthy that on upon receiving the petition, on November 21 the mayor e-mailed the requested information to FOIC which he could do 2 months before. In this case the fact of applying to the court had its rapid and positive influence.
