BUSINESSMAN DEMANDS MORE MONEY FROM LOCAL DAILY
12:07 pm | Today | Social
Khachik Khachatryan, a government-linked businessman running a
poultry factory, has filed another lawsuit against Yerevan-based
"Zhoghovurd" daily, demanding that the newspaper pay him 3 million
drams for smearing his good name and another 200 thousand drams for
covering the costs of lawyers.
"Thus, the businessman demands that the newspaper pay a total of 6
200 0000 drams in damages. This is the same oligarch who insulted a
Zhoghovurd reporter calling her "a prostitute" and demanded that his
word be published in the newspaper. After waiting for Khachatryan's
apology for some 15 days the newspaper brought an action against the
businessman demanding that the latter publically apologize to the
reporter. For his turn, Khachatryan sued Zhoghovurd in connection
with a newspaper article that accused his poultry factory of selling
eggs past their due date, the newspaper said in a statement.
Earlier this year, a district court in Yerevan froze the assets of the
newspaper and the author of the controversial story worth 3 million
drams. This caused the newspaper journalists and civic activists to
march to the court on January 30 demanding that the court lift the
asset freeze.
