ArmInfo.  Archbishop Bagrat Galstanyan, leader of the "Sacred Struggle" movement, has filed a  lawsuit against Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan. The lawsuit was  published on the website of the judicial information system  datalex.am.

In his lawsuit, the plaintiff notes that on June 11, RA Prime  Minister Nikol Pashinyan made the following statement: "Civil  Contract" received 100% of the organic votes, while other forces  received votes with 100% bribes. "Without money, no one would have  voted for them, absolutely no one." According to the plaintiff,

Nikol Pashinyan has thus slandered, tarnished his honor, dignity, and  reputation, and demands that the court publicly refute the factual  information defamatory of his honor, dignity, and reputation within  five working days of the court's decision coming into force. The  Archbishop demanded that Nikol Pashinyan pay him a nominal fee of  49.7 drams as compensation for the damages caused, as well as recover  from Nikol Pashinyan the amount he had previously paid in state fees.  The retraction must be published on the government's official  website.

The lawsuit was filed. The case was filed in court on July 6 and  transferred to Judge Marina Tashchyan of the Civil Court of First  Instance. A decision on whether to hear the claim has not yet been  made.
