MARCH IN SUPPORT OF ZHOGHOVURD DAILY
02:38 pm | January 29, 2013 | Social
A protest march is due to be held in Yerevan at 11:30, January 30,
in support of Zhoghovord (People) daily.
The participants of the action will march from Abovyan street to the
Court of General Jurisdiction of Kentron and Nork-Marash administrative
districts to hand over a petition with a demand to lift the 3 Million
AMD freeze from the newspaper’s property. The freeze might, otherwise,
discontinue the operation of the newspaper.
The court decided to freeze the newspaper’s property because of
a slander suit filed by Yerevan Poultry Factory owner Khachik
Khachatryan.
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.
