Armenian newspaper Hraparak was accused of libeling a woman with a 2011 report claiming “she got into a shoving match with officers at an Artsakh military base she had visited” and reporting that she denied the claims, Armenian investigative news site Hetq reported.

The woman, Margarita Khachatryan, wanted the newspaper to retract the story, but a court recently dismissed the lawsuit, Hetq reported.
