A protest march in defense of the Zhoghovurd (People) daily has
started in Abovyan Str.
More than 100 participants crying out "justice" are marching toward
the Kentron and Nork Marash minor court. They demand that the court
reverse the attachment of the newspaper's AMD 3m worth property.
Most of the participants are journalists, but some political figures
are participating as well. Among the participants are also Sasun
Mikaelyan, the commander of the Sasun detachment, Chairman of the
Freedom party, Armenia's ex-premier and one of the presidential
candidates Hrant Bagratyan, Gurgen Yeghiazaryan, a member of the
opposition bloc Armenian National Congress (ANC), as well as Styopa
Safaryan, a member of the Heritage party, political scientist Hmayak
Hovhannisyan and others.
The protesters are carrying posters, reading: "People are with
'People'", "No mister selling rotten eggs will rule the court" and
so on.
On January 24, the Zhoghovurd daily received a court verdict returned
by Judge Ruben Apinyan. The verdict attached the newspaper's AMD 3m
worth property. Thus the court upheld a claim lodged by Mr Khachik
Khachatryan, the owner of the Yerevan Poultry Factory OJSC.
