YEREVAN, DECEMBER 19, NOYAN TAPAN. Vazgen Manukian, the Chairman
of the National Democratic Union party, is going to apply to the
Prosecutor’s Office demanding institution of a criminal case against
the Haykakan Zhamanak daily, with the accusation of insult and slander.
The reason is the article under the title "Vazgen Manukian’s "Mein
Kampf" – My Struggle" published on December 15 in the Haykakan
Zhamanak, which, according to V. Manukian’s December 19 statement,
"is built on a written document ascribed to me ungroundedly." According
to V. Manukian, with this publication the newspaper stepped beyond
all borders of journalist ethics and morality.
