Moreover, the Court ruled that the citizens should pay money. This came after the newspaper published an article entitled “Those Serving the International Homosexual Lobby Interests; the Nation and State’s Enemy Blacklist”. In that article, the author listed 60 individuals in a “blacklist” and their personal Facebook page’s hyperlinks. He posted those people’s links who had commented against the singers Inga and Anush Arshakyans’ homophobic statements on a Facebook Press Conference. Some of the 60 citizens work for NGOs which work to defend homosexual rights. “Everyone has the right to express their opinion without fear of prosecution,” said Hayk Babukhanyan, president of the editorial board of Iravunk. The program will also focus on the incident and court ruling.
