On November 2, the Lori Regional Court decided to shelve the slander
suit filed by Tereza Shahverdyan against Hetq reporter Adrineh
Torosyan.
In its decision, the court ordered Shahverdyan (photo) to pay Torosyan
185,000 AMD for incurred legal fees.
Shahverdyan had originally sued the Hetq reporter for a May 13, 2011
article entitled `Unhealthy Passions at the Vanadzor Pedagogical
Institute'.
In her original suit, Shahverdyan had also demanded Hetq publish a
retraction of the alleged slanderous passages in the article.
As the trial progressed, Tereza Shahverdyan had dropped her 2 million
AMD compensation demand of Hetq reporter Andrineh Torosyan to 200,000
AMD.
On October 24, 2012, one hour before the start of the latest trial
session, the court informed the reporter that Shahverdyan had dropped
the charges altogether.
