MP Tigran Arzakantsyan has said he will appeal the court ruling over
his lawsuit against local daily Yerkir and use the moral compensation -
he is still to be paid - for charity.
Asked what he will do with the 288,000 drams (approx. $770) that the
court has ruled that Yerkir pay him in moral compensation, he said:
"There are several people in need. I will give it to them, I don't
need it."
It comes after a court of first instance ruled that Yerkir daily pay
Tigran Arzakantsyan, 200,000 drams in moral compensation, 80,000 drams
for lawyer-related expenses and 8,000 drams for court expenses for an
article, published last year, which he claims insulted his good name.
Initially Arzakantsyan had claimed 3,568,000 drams (approx. $9500),
but the court satisfied his claim partially. However, Arzakantsyan,
who is also the owner of Great Valley Company, says he will appeal
the case, as he will not tolerate insult.
"You know what? I am not the person to be insulted and to forgive,"
explained he, adding that the sum he will receive in moral compensation
will be sent to his namesake charity fund which he claimed has been
for seven years helping socially vulnerable people in Armenia.
