RA CASSATION COURT REVERSES RULING ON FINING ARMEN MAZMANIAN FOR
DISCREDITING TIGRAN KARAPETIAN
YEREVAN, APRIL 21, NOYAN TAPAN. The RA Cassation Court reversed the
February 14 decision of the court of first instance of Yerevan's
Kentron and Nork-Marash communities, according to which a fine of
300 thousand drams (about 840 dollars) was imposed on film maker
Armen Mazmanian for insulting and discrediting Tigran Karapetian,
Chairman of ALM Holding. A. Mazmanian told this to reporters on April
19, adding that he did not attend the court sitting. He said that
T. Karapetian withdrew his application for opening a criminal case
against A. Mazmanian. "We have come to an agreement that I will no
longer watch his programs, while he will leave me alone," said the
film maker, who during one of his television speeches called Tigran
Karapein a "populist parrot", "semi-literate person", "pickpocket",
and "one who was convicted in Volgograd for pedophilia".
