Madeline Tashjian, the wife of Serop Der-Boghossian, on Monday
appealed to the Court of General Jurisdiction of Kentron and
Nork-Marash Administrative Districts, demanding that entrepreneur
Silva Hambardzumyan publish a retraction in the press and then
pay her 1 luma (1/100th of an Armenian dram, less than a penny)
as compensation for damages.
Asked by local daily Joghovurd, why she appealed to the court with a
demand of only 1 luma, "unlike, for example, attorneys or oligarchs
who ask for 6 or 18 million drams [$15,609 or $46,826 USD] for insult
and defamation, Madeline said, 'The money doesn't interest me',"
the newspaper writes.
As reported by local media, last week Silva Hambardzumyan had said that
Madeline Tashjian "could tell you a lot about 1999." Tashjian refuted
the statement, adding that she doesn't even know Silva Hambardzumyan.
Recall, Hambardzumyan's Sipon 1 gold company had its license revoked by
the energy minister who then called an auction. The gold mine was sold
to Sagamar CJSC, one of the shares of which belonged to then adviser
to the prime minister Serop Der-Boghossian, the Armenian-American
businessman since accused of sexual abuse of minors.
