No trial until decision on swearing
The court of general jurisdiction of Kentron and Nork-Marash districts today temporarily suspended the examination of the case of "168 Hours" newspaper against former principal of high school N 2 in Etchmiadzin Susan Nazaryan.
The trial was suspended after a petition presented by "168 Hours" newspaper's lawyer.
"A criminal case was instigated after Susan Nazaryan swore at 10th grade student Albert Harutyunyan with sexually profane words. I think it is impossible to announce a verdict before making a final decision on the case," Anahit Hakobyan mentioned during the trial.
Mrs. Nazaryan demands 2 million drams in compensation from the newspaper for hurting her honor and dignity and denies that she swore at and hurt the students.
We mention that the Armavir police division instigated a case against Mrs. Nazaryan for misusing official powers after the newspaper's releases.
According to another lawsuit, Susan Nazaryan's son demands 2 million drams compensation from "168 Hours" as well. He says the information according to which he burnt the school's document archive is slander.
The case examination has been postponed until November 30 since the plaintiff wasn't able to get acquainted with the evidence (journalist Marine Martirosyan's recordings) that "168 Hours" had presented during the previous trial.
