ArmInfo.The judges, who were invited today to a meeting of the parliamentary Committee, expressed their negative opinion regarding the legislative initiative of MP of the PAP faction Gevorg Petrosyan regarding the responsibility for defamation in social networks, the parliamentary correspondent of ArmInfo reports.
According to this legislative initiative, judges must make decisions on issues related to slander distributed on social networks within four months. <Recently, insults and slander against our citizens are constantly spreading in social networks. However, people do not sue, because the judges are very busy. But, man and human dignity should become the main object of protection>, Petrosyan emphasized.
Petrosyan recalled that Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has repeatedly stated that man is the main value, human dignity is above all. As a result, during the discussion of the bill, a dispute arose between the MPs, and the head of the Committee Vladimir Vardanyan announced a 10-minute break. After the break, the legislative initiative received a negative opinion of the Committee.
