    A court in Yerevan on Tuesday formally accepted the claim by human
    rights activist Artur Sakunts against Ruben Hayrapetyan, the head of
    the Football Federation of Armenia, over comments the latter made on
    a live television show recently.

    Hayrapetyan was hosted on a football-related program on the Armenian
    Public Television on May 26 and in answering a question about
    developing football infrastructure in Vanadzor complained about
    protests from local civil activists. In his acrimonious remarks,
    the football boss lashed out at a "Helsinki son of a bitch" in a
    clear reference to Sakunts, who heads the Helsinki Citizens' Assembly
    Vanadzor Office.

    Sakunts now demands a public apology and 10 drams (about 2 cents)
    in what is rather a symbolic sum of compensation for the denigration
    of his honor and dignity.

    The court is due to hear the case on July 25.
