"Karapetyan, you are not illetarate, you are ignorant. Sue me again",
Armen Mazmanyan, director and stage-manager announced in the "Friday"
Club today.

He intends to challange the verdict of Court of Firts Instance under
which he was found guilty in slandering Tigran Karapetyan, president
of ALM Holding. Besides, Armen Mazmanyan was fined 300 thousand AMD.

Mazmanyan maintains that the events are ordered, "I am not a toy and
I shall let nobody play tricks on me", said the director and added,
"I shall seriously see to the matter; I am ready to bear unbiased
objective punishment".

To note, "21st century" NGO has opened a bank account and started
collecting money as they say, "Mazmanyan expressed our opinion,
and we are to pay the penalty".

By the way, we tried to find out Armen Mazmanyan’s stance on the
eve of the parliamentary elections. He didn’t conceal his affection
towards the Republican and ARF Dashnaktsutyun.

At the same time he says that he will be passive and keep away from
the political fuss.
