    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.
