Shinforum LLC, a company engaged in road and bridge construction,
has dropped its slander suit against Hetq according to a statement
just released by Kentron and Nork-Marash Court Judge Samvel Tadevosyan.
The trial was scheduled to start today but none of the litigants
appeared in court.
Judge Tadevosyan decided to continue the trial in their absence and
announced that Shinforum had informed the court on March 5 that it
wanted to drop the charges against Hetq.
The court will issue its decision on April 15.
Shinforum Director Tigran Gasbaryan had claimed that articles written
by Hetq columnist Daniel Ioannisyan (Fatal Fraud: Tsitsernakaberd
Highway Constructed with Kickbacks), tarnished the reputation of
his company
Gasbaryan had requested that the court obligate Hetq to refute all
"slanderous" information contained in the articles and to pay 2
million AMD in compensation, in addition to 44,000 AMD for state fees.
The articles discuss whether the Tsitsernakaberd Highway, commissioned
by the Yerevan community corresponds to building standards.
