Judge Avag Gabrielyan of the Yerevan court of general jurisdiction has accepted the claim filed by members of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation-Dashnaktsutyun political party against MP Arman Babajanyan for proceedings, as reported the Judicial-Informational System.

The members of the Armenian Revolutionary Federation-Dashnaktsutyun political party have filed a claim against Arman Babajanyan in two episodes.

As reported earlier, lawyer of the ARF-D members Haykuhi Sedrakyan had told Armenian News-NEWS.am that the claim concerns the statements that Arman Babajanyan made about the ARF-D in the National Assembly on December 6, 2019. “In essence, the plaintiffs consider the statements offensive and defamatory. There is still no court decision since the claim was filed yesterday. We demand a public apology for the offensive remarks and monetary compensation for slander,” she said.

In his statements, Arman Babajanyan had particularly referred to the ARF-D as “this force known with its terrorist past”, etc.
