The organisation "Legal Europe", alongside lawyers Lusine Hakobyan, Tigran Yegoryan, human rights activist Zhanna Aleksanyan, Media Kentron LLC, and MP Arman Babajanyan filed a lawsuit in the Yerevan General Jurisdiction Court against the socio-political movement "Veto", its leader Narek Malyan, the ArmNews TV Company and the website Yerevan.today, demanding compensation for damage caused to their honour and dignity. The claim followed publications referring to "Legal Europe" as “Soros-ites”, who are allegedly “laying the foundation for the collapse of Armenia,” as well as a film by Narek Malyan shown by ArmNews TV containing the same content. The court case is pending.
