    On June 24, in the judgment in the case Tigran Arzakantsyan v Iravunk
    Media LLC, the First Instance Court of General Jurisdiction of Center
    and Nork Marash Districts held that the complain had been groundless,
    the Iravunk Newspaper informs.

    The court dismissed Member of Parliament Tigran Arzakantsyan's claim
    to have the newspaper publish the response of the applicant to the
    article headlined "Gambled a Round Sum" dated 22/02/2011 and pay
    3,000,000 drams in satisfaction of insult and libel, as well as
    586,000 drams for judicial expenses and 68,000 drams state levy.

    The court held to confiscate the unpaid state levy of 10,000 drams
    from the Member of Parliament.

    By the way, in Armenia this is the first oligarch v media case
    dismissed by the court.
