A scientific-research center has lodged a complaint against the
Armenian daily Zhoghovurd (People) - the third such case launched
against the paper in October.
Benik Harutyunyan, Director of Spa Treatment and Physical Medicine
Research Centre of the Republic of Armenia, demands 2 million Armenian
drams (approx. $5330) in moral compensation for an article he claims
discredits him.
Harutyunyan also demands 244,000 drams (approx. $650) to cover lawyer
and court services.
In the article, Nune Serobyan, a US citizen and a business partner
of Benik Harutyunyan, accused him of not returning around $218,000
of her private money used in the joint business.
Two other lawsuits against Zhoghovurd are pending trial.
The daily is facing a total of 5,244,000 drams (approx. $14,180)
in compensation if it loses the case in all the three trials.
