The plaintiff demands to oblige the &ldquo;GALA&rdquo;<br \/>\n  founder, &ldquo;CHAP&rdquo; LLC, to stop the use of the city TV tower and dissemble the<br \/>\n  equipment installed there. <\/p>\n<p>As it has been reported, on October 22 the owner of &ldquo;CHAP&rdquo; LLC Vahan Khachatrian<br \/>\n  issued a statement regarding the attempts of various power agencies to exert<br \/>\n  pressure on the TV channel. The document stressed the infallibility of the TV<br \/>\n  channel&#8217;s stance and the readiness to prevent any attempt of intervention into<br \/>\n  its editorial policy. One week after the statement a tax audit started at &ldquo;CHAP&rdquo;,<br \/>\n  after which the RA State Tax Service reported the violations revealed. In particular,<br \/>\n  this referred to the illegal use of TV tower, owned by Gyumri municipality,<br \/>\n  by &ldquo;GALA&rdquo; founder. The owner of &ldquo;CHAP&rdquo; Vahan Khachatrian noted, on his behalf,<br \/>\n  that the certificate of ownership of the tower was received by Gyumri municipality<br \/>\n  only on November 5, 2007. Till that time, in 2004-2005, he had addressed various<br \/>\n  agencies but was unable to find the tower owner. According to Vahan Khachatrian,<br \/>\n  he operated the TV tower that had no one take care of since 2005, with a preliminary<br \/>\n  renovation and enforcement of the transmitter. The attempts of the TV channel<br \/>\n  to solve the problem through negotiations remained futile. On November 26 the<br \/>\n  suit of city administration was accepted by the court (see details in YPC Weekly<br \/>\n  Newsletter, <a href=\"?go=newsletter\/2007\/november_eng\/30_6\">November 30 &#8212; December<br \/>\n  6, 2007<\/a>). <\/p>\n<p>At the session of December 10 the plaintiff rejected the draft of reconciliation<br \/>\n  agreement, proposed by &ldquo;GALA&rdquo; founder&rsquo;s attorney. The agreement stipulated the<br \/>\n  TV tower rental for 6 months&rsquo; time. The respondent filed a counter-claim of<br \/>\n  mandatory establishing the right to a limited use of the TV tower (mandatory<br \/>\n  servitude), which was declined by the court. The respondent also challenged<br \/>\n  the judge, after which the session was adjourned. On December 11 the court reconvened<br \/>\n  with the judge announcing the challenge refused. The respondent said that on<br \/>\n  the same day, December 11, he had appealed at the Court of Cassation the refusal<br \/>\n  of the Commercial Court to accept his counter-claim and made a motion to suspend<br \/>\n  the litigation until the response is received. This motion was refused, too.<br \/>\n  The respondent made the second challenge to the judge, and the hearings were<br \/>\n  adjourned again &#8212; till December 13. At the session of December 13 the challenge<br \/>\n  of the judge was refused once more. On his behalf, the respondent announced<br \/>\n  he had appealed &#8212; this time with the higher jurisdiction body of the RA Commercial<br \/>\n  Court &#8212; the judge&rsquo;s ruling of December 10 that had rejected the counter-claim<br \/>\n  of mandatory servitude. The founder of &ldquo;GALA&rdquo; also made a motion to suspend<br \/>\n  the hearings until a response is received regarding the counter-claim. The motion<br \/>\n  was secured, and the session adjourned. <\/p>\n<p>Earlier, on December 12, about 50 residents of Gyumri established Headquarters<br \/>\n  to protect freedom of expression and to support &ldquo;GALA&rdquo; TV company. On the same<br \/>\n  day the HQ addressed the media and journalists, operating in Armenia, with an<br \/>\n  appeal to report the large-scale actions that are undertaken against &ldquo;GALA&rdquo;<br \/>\n  to deprive the TV company of air. The plans of the HQ include ensuring the challenge<br \/>\n  to the judge, to gather signatures under a letter to Gyumri Mayor Vardan Ghukasian<br \/>\n  demanding to give up the litigation of the dispute and to rent the city TV tower<br \/>\n  to &rdquo;GALA&rdquo; with acceptable terms. On December 13 the Committee to Protect Freedom<br \/>\n  of Expression organized a press trip to Gyumri for journalists of several national<br \/>\n  media. After the court session the journalists and the HQ representatives made<br \/>\n  a march to the municipality, handing in a notice about the intention to hold<br \/>\n  a rally to support freedom of expression and &ldquo;GALA&rdquo; on December 19. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>On December 10 at the RA Commercial Court hearings on the suit of Gyumri municipality versus &ldquo;GALA&rdquo; TV company started.
