ARAM KARAPETYAN INSULTED
Support A1+!Hearing of New Times party leader Aram Karapetyan’s suit against National Unity party chair Artaches Geghamyan and MP Alexan Karapetyan continued on Wednesday. The suit has been filed over libelous statements made by above-mentioned persons that damaged Aram Karapetyan’s dignity.
The plaintiff’s attorney in the trial Levon Baghdasaryan said that Artashes Geghamyan and Alexan Karapetyan must be charged with libeling his client by calling him the authorities’ puppet who is dancing to their tune and by saying his whole activity is focused on tarnishing the opposition reputation.
The defense attorney Gagik Kostandyan objected saying the articles published recently about Aram Karapetyan were no more than political opinions. What has been said about Aram Karapetyan needs no proof and the aim of this legal proceeding is obvious – to raise his rating and to mar the opposition.
The court didn’t make any decision at its Wednesday’s session. The date set for the next session is June 30.
