Los Angeles, CA – [March 14] – 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.
How You Can Help:
- Stay informed & share our message – The more people know what’s going on, the harder it is to manipulate the truth.
