The slander trial against diaspora investor Edmond Khoutian got
underway yesterday at Yerevan’s Kentron and Nork Marash Administrative
Court.
Khoutian is being sued by Ghevond Ghaloumyan for remarks he made in
an interview with Haykakan Zhamansk reporter Vahagn Hovakimyan that
appeared as an article entitled “The Story of a Cheated Diaspora
Armenian” on February 2, 2012.
Ghaloumyan argues that remarks made by Khoutian slandered his good
name and reputation. He is seeking 1 AMD in symbolic compensation
and a public apology.
Khoutian’s lawyers motioned for a postponement in order to familiarize
themselves with the case material.
The next trial date was set for August 17.
