Additional information:

The NGO Legal Europe, its president Lusine Hakobyan and senior legal advisor Tigran Egoryan filed a lawsuit against the Hraparak Daily Newspaper LLC with the Yerevan Court of General Jurisdiction, demanding compensation for damage to their honor and dignity. The reason for the lawsuit was the article published on the website pointing out that along with other similar associations, this organization and its leaders are part of a foreign agent network whose hidden and sometimes undisguised goal was the change of government rather than the fight for human rights. The lawsuit is being considered.
