Former Syunik Governor and former MP Vahe Hakobyan filed a lawsuit against Armen Khachatryan, an MP from the Civil Contract faction.
Hakobyan demanded that Khachatryan publicly refute the following factual information presented about him within five working days of the court ruling: “After the 2020 war, taking advantage of the situation in the country, he attempted to turn Syunik into a hotbed of struggle against the state and divide the country. This is precisely why Vahe Hakobyan became a radical oppositionist and waged a fierce struggle against the state. He knew he had to return what had been stolen from the country and the people, and he knew that the state was creating mechanisms through which everything stolen would one day be returned.” “Today, representatives of local and visiting oligarchies are uniting to hold on to what was stolen, attempting to spend large sums of money and wage a final battle against Armenian statehood, cherishing the last hope of misleading or deceiving the Armenian people,” the Datalex judicial information system reports.
The former governor of Syunik is also demanding compensation from the MP in the amount of one million drams for damages.
The case was filed on March 13 and assigned to Judge Gayane Mazmanyan of the Yerevan Civil Court of First Instance. The lawsuit has not yet been accepted for consideration.
