ArmInfo. Lawyers of former head of the National Security Service, Artur Vanetsyan, intend to file a lawsuit against the Armenian Prime Minister's spouse Anna Hakobyan's "Haykakan Zhamanak" newspaper.
The statement notes that Vanetsyan's lawyers demanded that the newspaper refute an article published on January 12 under the title "I have Honor, or Honor have not Honor". Lawyers noted that the article is not true and the information about Vanetsyan described in this publication is defamatory.
However, on February 4, lawyers received a letter from the newspaper's management, which stated that no refutation would follow. According to the director of the newspaper, the demand does not indicate which particular sections of the article contain slander.
It should be noted that in this article there was information that former head of the NSS Arutr Vanetsyan, is sponsoring a campaign against Prime Minister of Armenia, Nikol Pashinyan and his family members. According to the newspaper, the son-in-law of the third president of Armenia Serzh Sargsyan, Mikayel Minasyan and former Chief of Staff of NA Ara Saghatelyan helps him in this case.
