The Yerevan court of general jurisdiction has partially upheld the claim of reporter for Live News Taguhi Aslanyan obliging President of the Public Council Styopa Safaryan to apologize to Aslanyan for his offensive remarks and pay AMD 600,000 as compensation. This is what Aslanyan’s attorney Lusine Virabyan wrote on her Facebook page.

The court partially upheld the claim because the plaintiff had demanded AMD 1,000,000 as compensation, but only AMD 600,000 was upheld.

According to the attorney, the court ruling was just.

The judgment enters into force a month after its promulgation and can be appealed to the Civil Court of Appeal within a month.
