ArmInfo. The court of general jurisdiction of Yerevan accepted the lawsuit of former head of the National Security Service of Armenia, leader of the <Hayrenik> (Homeland, Ed. note) party Arthur Vanetsyan and his parents against <Skizb> Media Center LLC and 1in.am information portal. This is reported by the DataLex judicial information system.
Arthur Vanetsyan and his relatives demand to publicly refute the libelous information and oblige the defendant to publish the text of the refutation and compensate moral damage.
To note, we are talking about a publication in which it is reported that <a freight company working with Zangezur copper-molybdenum combination(ZCMC) belonged not only to Vanetsyan's father, but several years ago Vanetsyan and Mher Sedrakyan's son (Tokhmakhi Mher) jointly initiated a logistics business through which from Kajaran, raw materials from the Kajaran Copper-Molybdenum Combine are transported to their destinations>. To recall, earlier Prime Minister's spokesperson, Mane Gevorgyan, stated that Arthur Vanetsyan, the former director of the National Security Service, acquired a stake in ZCMC, with a clear abuse of power and through dummy shareholders. Vanetsyan himself refutes this, recognizing only the fact of ZCMC's cooperation with the cargo transportation company owned by his father.
