Zartonk Media Vows To Fight Back Against Azeri Lawsuit Challenging Free Speech of Armenian Media
Los Angeles, CA –– Zartonk Media has been named in a lawsuit which appears to aim to silence Armenian voices and independent journalism.
The lawsuit, filed by an Azerbaijani individual with a history of making inflammatory statements about Armenia and Armenian advocacy organizations, claims that Zartonk Media engaged in defamation, conspiracy, and other harmful accusations.
This legal action mimics a historical pattern of attempts to silence Armenian advocacy and free speech and it attempts to weaponize the legal system to suppress reporting on documented public statements.
We stand by our reporting. Zartonk Media has always been committed to factual, unbiased journalism and will continue to serve the Armenian community.
We will fight back. We refuse to let this case set a precedent that Armenian media and advocacy can be silenced.
We need your support. This case is not just about Zartonk—it’s about protecting Armenian free speech in the diaspora and beyond.
