Political Expert Stepan Grigoryan publicly apologizes to General  Khachaturov

ArmInfo. The head of the Center for Globalization and Regional Studies, political scientist Stepan Grigoryan has publicly disproven  his own statement to the  former Chief of the General Staff of the Armed Forces Yuri  Khachaturov, made on July 30, 2018.  

"Observing the court's decision, given that it has come into legal force, I publicly refute what I said about Yuri Khachaturov in my interview to the A1 + TV channel,  which aired on the YouTube channel on July 30, 2018. My statements  about the transfer of territories for money, non-admission of  resistance to the enemy and absence on the spot during the war,  non-fulfillment of their official duties, "the text of Grigoryan's  refutation says.

Recall that the Moscow court previously ruled to oblige Stepan  Grigoryan, within a month after the entry into force of the court's  decision, to publicly refute the statements made by Grigoryan to the  Khachaturov during an interview on July 30, 2018 and which are  considered libel.

Recall that political scientist Stepan Grigoryan, in one of his  public speeches, commenting on the four-day April war of 2016,  stating that some generals, including Yuri Khachaturov, were not in  place, did not go to jobs in a short time, and even participated in  the sale of some territories during this war.

In connection with these allegations, Yuri Khachaturov filed a  lawsuit on August 10, 2018, demanding to oblige Stepan Grigoryan to  pay compensation and make a refutation in connection with the damage  inflicted on his honor and dignity, and won the trial. The capital  court ordered Grigoryan to make a public apology to Khachaturov.
