Vahe Grigoryan, the lawyer for Hetq reporter Grisha Balasanyan who
initiated a slander suit against MP Ruben Hayrapetyan, predicted today
that they won win the case if the court employed the same rationale it
used in the case when Hayrapetyan and two other MP's sued the
newspaper Haykakan Zhamanak.
It the latter case, the court found in favour of the MP's who had
charged the paper with slander and defamation. Balasanyan has charged
Hayrapetyan with using foul language of a sexually explicit nature
directed against him during a phone interview.
Mr. Grigoryan said he hoped that the court, which has accepted
Balasanyan's case, would at least show the same uniformity of approach
as in the Haykanan Zhamanak case, despite the fact that he disagreed
with the ruling.
