Publication Date 31.07.2026
Liparit Drmeyan, a member of the Wings of Unity party, filed a lawsuit on July 31 with the Court of General Jurisdiction of Yerevan against Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan. According to the plaintiff, Pashinyan made statements that were untrue and defamatory, damaging his honor and dignity.
“I do not make random, off-the-cuff statements. My hands are clean, my conscience is clear, and I am ready to pursue legal action to obtain a retraction of the defamatory statements made about me. I also believe that there can be no dictatorship in the Republic of Armenia, yet we are moving in that direction,” Drmeyan said.
It should be recalled that the previous day, the Prosecutor General’s Office of Armenia launched an inquiry into possible criminal conduct by Liparit Drmeyan, former head of the Office of the Representative of Armenia on International Legal Matters, following a statement by Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan.
On July 30, during a briefing following a government session, Pashinyan accused Liparit Drmeyan of leaking information from the government, making statements contrary to the position of the executive branch, and protecting the interests of other political forces.
