16. FOICA vs. the Village Municipality of Talvorik

July 3, 2009

On February 3, 2009, the FOICA had referred to the community leader of Talvorik in the region of Armavir asking for the following information:
1. A copy of the 2008 community budget,
2. Copies of the decisions made by the community councilors about allotting land in the 2nd semester of 2008.

The request was left unanswered. On the 31st of March, 2009 the FOICA applied to the RA Administrative Court with a claim to oblige the village municipality of Talvorik to provide the requested information.

On the 23rd of July, 2009, the RA Administrative Court (Judge A. Tsaturyan) issued a decision to the claim of the “Freedom of Information Center” NGO against the village municipality of Talvorik.

The decision was to quash the case for obliging the village municipality to provide the information, because during the court hearing the mayor of Talvorik had provided the FOICA with the requested information.
