YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 6, ARMENPRESS. Third President of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan has filed a libel lawsuit against Member of Parliament Khachatur Sukiasyan.

The ex-president’s lawyer Amram Makinyan said they demand Sukiasyan to retract his statements in the parliament chambers.

“This is a rather comprehensive lawsuit, we’ve presented all substantiations with which we are sure the court will satisfy our lawsuit and will oblige Khachatur Sukiasyan to refute the information,” Makinyan said.

Ruling party MP Khachatur Sukiasyan, while delivering a speech in parliament, had claimed that the former president had “gambled away more than 100 million dollars”.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
