Regarding yesterday's review hearing in a Tbilisi court regarding the refusal to allow French attorney Patrick Srabian to be register as Vahagn Chakhalyan's defense lawyer, the "Yerkir Union" noted that the hearing ended without result. The "Yerkir" statement reports that the judge reviewed the documents submitted, accepted the motion and pronounced the court case to be opened. Immediately afterwards, the judge ordered that the case be postponed until May 29. In its statement, the "Yerkir Union" claims that the Georgian authorities have adopted a tactic of delay regarding Mr. Arabian's registration but that the attorney had already assumed the defense of Vahagn Chakhalyan and intends to take the case to any and all international tribunals, including the European Court of Human Rights if necessary. The statement goes on to say that the "Yerkir Union" is disappointed that the Georgian authorities haven't carried out the promise made by the Georgian Ambassador to France that Mr. Arabian's registration would be enacted.
