YEREVAN. – The Yerevan court of general jurisdiction has accepted for proceedings the second lawsuit filed by Shushan Pashinyan, a daughter of Armenia’s Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, against Narek Samsonyan, President of the "Civil Consciousness" NGO.

Shushan Pashinyan demands that Samsonyan refute the information considered slander, and compensate for the damage caused to her honor and dignity, valuing it at AMD 2 million.

Narek Samsonyan had written on Facebook that PM Pashinyan was buying black caviar for $3,000 each month from a Yerevan restaurant for her daughter.

This lawsuit was first brought to court on February 26, but the court returned it, finding that when filing this lawsuit, the plaintiff's legal representative had failed to comply with the provisions of the Civil Procedure Code.

A court date has not yet been set.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
