Liparit Drmeyan files lawsuit against Nikol Pashinyan

ArmInfo. Liparit Drmeyan, a member of the Wings of Unity party and former head of the Office of the Representative of Armenia on International Legal Affairs, has filed a lawsuit against Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan. He announced  this in a conversation with journalists on July 31.

The politician noted that the statements made by the Armenian prime  minister at a briefing on July 31 were completely untrue and  constituted information defamatory of his honor and dignity. "In this  regard, I decided to defend my rights in accordance with the  procedure established by Armenian law—through the courts. I have  filed a claim demanding a retraction of the defamatory statements.  This concerns all the statements regarding the fulfillment of my  obligations during the arbitration proceedings, the existence of a  conflict of interest, and so on. All of them are untrue; moreover,  they were presented in a context that defame my honor and dignity,"  Drmeyan noted.

He also clarified that he has not yet filed a claim for compensation  in his claim, but noted that Armenian law allows to edit the claim.  "Since everything happened so quickly, at this point I have only  filed a claim for a retraction of this information," Drmeyan  concluded.
