Yerevan Court Slaps 3 Million AMD Freeze on Newspaper's Property

The Zhoghovourd newspaper in Yerevan says it received a court notice freezing 3 million AMD worth of its property.

The daily says the freeze stems from a January 19 slander suit filed by Yeevan Poultry Factory owner Khachik Khachatryan.

Khachatryan is arguing that the paper smeared his good name and the reputation of the factory in a September 9, 2012 article claiming that the RA Ministry of Agriculture’s Food Safety Inspectorate had fined the company for selling eggs past their due date.

The article also claims that the company told its drivers to deliver the eggs during the night so as not to cause a problem.

The article continues: “We talked to Khachatryan to find out what was going on. ‘Are you trying to provoke me? You have incorrect information. There is no such problem. I am going to Leninakan tomorrow to sell the eggs. You can come with me.’”

The newspaper says the freeze might prevent its continued operation.
