Yesterday, The Service for Compulsory Enforcement of Judicial Acts sent
a letter to Yerkir daily on a ban on the property of the editorial. No
ban was exerted on the financial measures, which was done in case of
Hraparak daily.
Studying an application by the representative of Member of Parliament
Tigran Arzaqantsyan, lawyer Vahe Hovsepyan, says the SCEJA found out
that a ban amounting to 3 million 568 thousand should be imposed on
the editorial excluded financial means.
Bagrat Yesayan, Editor-in-Chief of the daily, explained that if the
court approves MP Arzaqantsyan's claim, "we will come out unable to
pay the fine, so they will sell out the property".
The Editor-in-Chief does not know the content of the claim against
the paper. Bagrat Yesayan underlines that there has never been an
issue of imposing a ban on financial measures.
He says that such activities become regular, and those, who initiated
the law on decriminalization of slander, had better think about
the mechanisms they are going to use to ensure European standards,
Yesayan says.
Recall, Tigran Arzaqantsyan, proprietor of Great Valley Company,
demands a 3 million compensation from the paper for having published
information dishonoring him. Yesayan says that instead of suing the
paper, the MPs had better change themselves.
The next hearing is scheduled on April 11.
