Principal of Monte Melkonian School Sues "7or.am" for Slander; Denies Demanding $100 From Teachers

18:52, June 21, 2012

The Principal of Yerevan's Public School 11 (named in honor of Monte Melkonian) has sued the news outlet "7or.am" for slander after it published an article alleging that she had demanded that teachers pay her $100 each.

Principal Rouzanna Azizyan is also famous for being a classmate of Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan.

"7or" (7 days) published the article "Serzh Sargsyan's classmate demands $100 for teachers?" on April 16 of this year after receiving tip-offs from parents.

On April 17, the news site received a letter from Azizyan's attorney that those who sent in the allegations weren't irate parents but rather some teachers who had been dismissed from the school and were bent on discrediting the principal and the staff.
