If you start with none...

Not surprisingly, the regime, along with its accomplices and lackeys, is still trying to silence the voice of opposition. Three of the MPs named in an article by HZH are suing and seem to have won the first round [from epress] - at least in court:

"The three MPs demanded Haykakan Jamanak to retract the story, which they say discredits their honor, dignity and business reputation, as well as compensation in the amount of 2.5 million AMD each — for moral losses and incurred court expenses."

What moral losses? What honor and dignity? What business reputation? There was none of this to begin with. Let's do the basic algebra:

You start with no morality/honor/dignity/reputation = nothing = 0

And you end with no morality/honor/dignity/reputation = nothing = 0

So lets find out what the damage was = the difference/the event = X

O-X=O and then solve for X

X=O

therefore, the injury/damage done was NOTHING.

But what does the court say they will get in return? Something... that is, Money.

Again, no surprise.

Especially not from folks with names like Nemets Rubo, Lfik Samo and Alraghatsy Lyovik

Awww, how cute, they're working together... Group Hug!!!

Addendum: A little late on my part, but here is HAK's official statement on the court cases being brought up against not only Haykakan Zhamanak (Armenian Times) and Zhamanak, but Aravot as well.

Addendum2: Late again, but here's a Hetq article on the issue: MP Oligarchs take aim at Haykakan Zhamanak

I couldn't pass up this article from the Armenian Times (Haykakan Zhamanak), via Google Translate, with some quick/rough editing:

Trial of the Oligarch's Case
Monday at 15:00 pm, at the Center and Nork-Marash districts Court of First Instance (near the Tbilisi highway, near the Lamp Factory), Judge Marine Petrosyan is scheduled to preside over the resumption of the lawsuit against the publisher of Armenian Times (Haykakan Zhamanak) newspaper, "Dareskizb Ltd." The suit is brought forward by MP-tycoons Samvel Alexanyan (Lfik Samo), Levon Sargsyan (Alraghatsy Lyovik) and Ruben Hayrapetyan (Nemets Rubo). The oligarchs demand that "HZH" pay 7.5 million drams, basically 2.5 million to each of them.

Օլիգարխների գործով դատը` երկուշաբթի
Երկուշաբթի ժամը 15.00-ին Կենտրոն եւ Նորք-Մարաշ վարչական շրջանների ընդհանուր իրավասության դատարանում (Թբիլիսյան խճուղու նստավայրում, Լամպերի գործարանի հարեւանությամբ) դատավոր Կարինե Պետրոսյանի նախագահությամբ պետք է վերսկսվի «Հայկական ժամանակ» օրաթերթի հրատարակիչ «Դարեսկիզբ» ՍՊԸ-ի դեմ պատգամավոր-օլիգարխներ Սամվել Ալեքսանյանի (Լֆիկ Սամո), Լեւոն Սարգսյանի (Ալրաղացի Լյովիկ) եւ Ռուբեն Հայրապետյանի (Նեմեց Ռուբո) ներկայացրած հայցի քննարկումը: Օլիգարխները դատավորից պահանջել են «ՀԺ»-ից իրենց օգտին բռնագանձել յոթուկես միլիոն դրամ` յուրաքանչյուրին երկուսուկեսական միլիոն:

Really, this is just a way to try to take HZH down. Too bad the oligarch's can't but this much cooperation and effort into actually creating something good, rather trying to destroy something good.

[My apologies to the koalas, who, to my knowledge, have not done anything to deserve being compared to oligarchs, and are without doubt, much cuter]

P.S. I noticed after posting the picture that there seems to be a fourth Koala hiding his face, with only his/her butt showing, in the back. I will leave who that could be to our collective imaginations ;)
