VAZGEN MANOUKIAN DEMANDING TO BE TREATED WITH RESPECT
AZG Armenian Daily
21/12/2007
On December 19, Vazgen Manoukian made a statement that he had applied
to prosecutor's office for bringing an action against "Haykakan
jamanak" daily newspaper that had offended and defamed his personality.
To recall, the newspaper has recently published an article of Vazgen
Manoukian under the heading "My struggle".
According to Vazgen Manoukian, the article is far from being considered
as a journalistic publication with its style and content. "The whole
article is built on a handwriting that is ascribed to me without
adducing any proof", announced the Chairman of National Democratic
Party (NDP).
Vazgen Manoukian's attorney Vardan Zurnachian phoned the newspaper's
editor-in-chief Nikol Pashinian to get the latter's consent to a
joint examination of the handwriting, but the editor-in-chief of
"Haykakan jamanak" declined the offer.
"In these conditions, taking into account the urgency of the question
also the cynicism of the newspaper that tried to offend and defame
me and provide the society with false information, I had to apply to
the prosecutor's office. I underline that I wouldn't do it if the
newspaper's editor-in-chief agreed to a joint examination of the
handwriting", said the Chairman of NDP in his statement.
