Alexander Sirunian files lawsuit against Karo Yeghnukian

Member of the Camber of Advocates of Armenia Alexander Sirunian filed a lawsuit against Karo Yeghnukian to the court of general jurisdiction of Yerevan’s Kentron and Nork-Marash communities. Sirunian requests protection of his honor, dignity and professional reputation.

In a statement on Facebook, Sirunian legal advice office called upon Karo Yeghnukian to apologize publicly to Vardan Sedrakian for making insulting remarks about him at the May 14 press conference.

“I only voiced the position of the official prosecution. If they were wrong, they should apologize. I don’t know why Sirunian wants me to apologize,” Karo Yeghnukian told the correspondent of Aysor.am.

Alexander Sirunian for his part told Aysor.am: “I admit that I am amoral, but he must apologize. He refers to the official prosecution, but the criminal case does not say that we are amoral”.

We would remind you that National Security Service of Armenia charged Vardan Sedrakian under Articles 34, 38 and 305 of the Criminal Code. The former presidential candidate Vardan Sedrakian is charged with organizing the attempted murder of another presidential candidate, leader of AIM Party Paruyr Hayrikan.
