Progressive Party of Armenia intends to file a suit against “Amnesty International” organization, the perty's press service reported.

"In a so-called report of this organization of 2001, irresponsible authors of the “report” wrote such a blatant lie that one may draw just two conclusions therefore: either they are illiterate and unfair and should apologize for their mistake, or they deliberately introduced an unfancied falsehood in a so-called “report” pursuing some aims, for what they must also apologize.

The matter concerns an incident happened in 2008, when drunken Mika Danielyan and his friends chased and then attacked Chairman of Progressive Party of Armenia Tigran Urikhanyan who had to resort to self-protection and fired blank in the air. M. Danielyan gave false testimonies, maligned T. Urikhanyan and, having preliminary scratched his skin, said (being unknown of the expert examination results saying it was a blank shot) he had allegedly received fragment wounds.

M. Dalnielyan, who sets himself up as a human right activist and who committed violence with respect to T. Urikhanyan, being engaged in protection of human rights through his vital activities, was not convicted and is out of prison today, while the aforementioned organization writes a sheer lie instead of truth, just like in all other articles of the so-called “report” regarding Armenia.

Progressive Party of Armenia will demand to bring Amnesty International, which serves someone’s political interests, to justice, as well as will demand compensation in moral damages at the rate of $1.000.000," the party's statement reads.
