    MARCH IN DEFENSE OF ZHOGHOVURD DAILY IN ARMENIA'S CAPITAL

    A protest march in defense of the Zhoghovurd (People) daily has
    started in Abovyan Str.

    More than 100 participants crying out "justice" are marching toward
    the Kentron and Nork Marash minor court. They demand that the court
    reverse the attachment of the newspaper's AMD 3m worth property.

    Most of the participants are journalists, but some political figures
    are participating as well. Among the participants are also Sasun
    Mikaelyan, the commander of the Sasun detachment, Chairman of the
    Freedom party, Armenia's ex-premier and one of the presidential
    candidates Hrant Bagratyan, Gurgen Yeghiazaryan, a member of the
    opposition bloc Armenian National Congress (ANC), as well as Styopa
    Safaryan, a member of the Heritage party, political scientist Hmayak
    Hovhannisyan and others.

    The protesters are carrying posters, reading: "People are with
    'People'", "No mister selling rotten eggs will rule the court" and
    so on.

    On January 24, the Zhoghovurd daily received a court verdict returned
    by Judge Ruben Apinyan. The verdict attached the newspaper's AMD 3m
    worth property. Thus the court upheld a claim lodged by Mr Khachik
    Khachatryan, the owner of the Yerevan Poultry Factory OJSC.
