YEREVAN. – The Armenian court rejected on Wednesday the lawsuit filed by NGO head against former MP Ruben Hayrapetyan.

Arthur Sakunts, head of Helsinki Citizens’ Assembly Vanadzor Office, demanded that Hayrapetyan should make a public apology after he insulted him on air of the Armenian television. Sakunts also demanded a symbolic compensation amounting to 1 luma.

The lawsuit was filed after scandalous President of Armenian Football Federation Ruben Hayrapetyan made an announcement during a sport program shown by the Armenian Public Television.

“When I want to build a football school in Vanadzor there is no tree and no bush, I build the school on a top of the hill, but for some reason, a Helsinki son of a dog appears and sues us, the city hall, the decision of the city council, and the federation as a third and responsible party,” Ruben Hayrapetyan had announced.
