    POLITICIANS ATTEND PROTEST MARCH IN SUPPORT OF LOCAL DAILY

    12:56 pm | January 30, 2013 | Politics

    The employees of Zhoghovord daily accompanied by journalists and
    politicians are presently heading for the Court of General Jurisdiction
    of Kentron and Nork-Marash administrative districts. They are going
    to hand over a petition with a demand to lift the 3 Million AMD freeze
    from the newspaper's property.

    Among the participants of the protest march are Sasun Mikaelyan,
    Petros Makeyan, Garnik Isagulyan and many others.

    The freeze stems from a January 19 slander suit filed by Khachik
    Khachatryan, owner of Yerevan Poultry Factory and president of X
    Group. The latter argues that the paper smeared his good name and the
    reputation of the factory in a September 2012 article, claiming that
    the Ministry of Agriculture's Food Safety Inspectorate had fined the
    company for selling eggs past their due date.

    The newspaper says that the freeze might prevent its further operation.
