MP Ruben Hayrapetyan’s Profanities Not Insulting, Rules Cassation Court

The RA Court of Cassation has rejected to hear the appeal of Hetq reporter Grisha Balasanyan regarding an Oct. 12, 2011 verdict by the Civil Court of Appeals, Hetq Online reports.

Balasanyan was seeking redress in the courts, arguing that during a phone conversation MP Ruben Hayrapetyan (pictured) insulted him, and for this he was asking for 1 million AMD (approx. $2,580 USD) in damages and a public apology.
