We Just Won a Major Victory — But This Fight Is Far From Over


This year, Zartonk Media was targeted in a federal lawsuit designed to silence Armenian voices. We fought back — and we won. A federal judge struck the complaint, dismissed the case, and entered judgment in our favor. The case is over.


Filed by an Azerbaijani individual with a documented history of inflammatory statements targeting Armenians and Armenian advocacy organizations, the lawsuit accused Zartonk Media of defamation and conspiracy for reporting on the plaintiff’s own public statements.


From the start, we made it clear: the claims were meritless, and the lawsuit was a direct attempt to intimidate and silence Armenian media. The court’s ruling confirms exactly that.


But make no mistake: this will not be the last attempt.
