A Yerevan court partially granted the lawsuit of Lilit Makunts, the Ambassador of Armenia to the US, on against Garnik Isagulyan, chairman of the opposition National Security party, obliging him to renounce his defamatory statements and confiscate from him 424,000 drams (approx. US$885) in Makunts' favor. Armenian News-NEWS.am has learned about this from the Judicial Information System of Armenia.
On December 23, 2020, Lilit Makunts had filed a lawsuit with the court against Garnik Isagulyan—and with a request to oblige him to refute the statements made at his press conferences and to pay compensation for the respective damage caused. The lawsuit refers to Isagulyan's statements that the 2018 revolution in Armenia was carried out with Azerbaijani funding.
