Kocharyan Sues “Avatar” Over Perceived Political Mockery

"Avatar misrepresents modern history in Armenia" Kocharyan

YEREVAN – Armenia’s second president Kocharyan has sued the creators of the epic movie “Avatar” for sarcastically smearing his political career and “libel”. The representative of the ex-president claimed there is evident parallel and mockery between the plot of “Avatar” and Armenia’s modern history.

Attorney Sargis Payan explains Kocharyan’s decision: “It is obvious that the movie is a cheap slap at ex-president’s political career.

It’s an open-ended political smear.” Կարդալ ավելին Read more
