Journalist Irina Aroyan: biography, photos and interesting facts

Fame came to the journalist of the "Newspaper of the Don" after the May 2004 press conference in the hotel "Rostov" Philip Kirkorov and Anastasia Stotskaya. The television cameras captured a scandalous dialogue, which involved Philip Kirkorov and Irina Aroyan - "pink blouse" (photo is presented in the article). Becoming the object of rudeness from the king of the pop scene, the woman was forced to seek support in court.

Incident

The STS channel risked showing the entire nation a footage of the press conference, where the singer who has gone too far offends insults the woman journalist, sinking to the mat and removing her from the audience. None of those present voiced their voice in defense of the insulted woman, whose security guards took away the dictaphone and camera from the back door. The reason was the inconvenient question of why in the repertoire of the singer such a huge number of remakes. Irina Aroyan was interested in the attitude of the stage king to the problem of lack of new melodies.

Considering this a blow to his address, Kirkorov justified himself, listing his songs, gradually increasing the degree of dialogue. Even the distracting question of another journalist Stotskaya could not stop the outbreak of aggression. The singer said that he was annoyed by a "pink blouse" (hence the phraseology related to the incident), boobs and a microphone of a journalist. Accusing a woman of unprofessionalism, he ridiculed her pronunciation and publicly cursed obscenities.

Resonance

Did Irina Aroyan, whose photo conveys her fragility and vulnerability, think that the case will cause such a huge public response? Journalists in Chelyabinsk, and then Krasnoyarsk, called for boycotting Kirkorov, they were supported by Regnum and the Union of Journalists of the country. On the tour the artist did not buy tickets, and before the end of the year he stopped the concert activity. On the Internet there was a heated discussion of the scandalous press conference. Opinions were divided: some supported the insulted journalist, others considered her a provocateur and encouraged to rejoice in such PR.

Living with a small salary together with her mother, the woman could not count on the protection of honor and dignity in court, but the unexpected support of the above-mentioned organizations allowed him to hire a lawyer and bring a suit to the world court regarding part two of Article 130 of the Criminal Code ("Insult"). Could Irina Aroyan withdraw the application filed in June 2004? The answer to the question can be found in the program "Basic Instinct". Television could not fail to respond to the event, which stirred the public.

"The basic Instinct"

Being in Bulgaria, Philip Bedrosovich took part in Svetlana Sorokina's program, communicating via television. While the Rostov journalist was in the studio. Participants in the debate tried to reduce the problem to confront artists and the press, delving into "dirty laundry." In defense of the "victim" from the media, Kirkorov was represented by the majority of those present, including Daria Dontsova, who has journalistic education. The participants of the program tried to bring the discussion to the justification of the singer's nervous breakdown, paying attention to the nonprofessionalism of those who write on the musical theme.

Can Irina Aroyan answer for others? The journalist did not hurt the actor. A. Buynov acknowledged that 90% of Russian music is theft of other people's ideas. But even the tears of the young woman her colleague Arthur Gasparyan called hypocrisy. Only a few people stood up for the protection of the journalist, which led to Kirkorov's unwillingness to make public apologies. His categorical denial of his own guilt caused a subsequent trial.

Trial

The lawsuit was filed 30 days after the scandal, another two months the process continued, on which the pop-king of the national stage never appeared. In the interview, he called himself right, which terribly outraged the opponent, who decided to go to the end. Successive lawyers of the star tried to prove that there was no insult to the journalist and the case needs to be retrained according to the article "Fine hooliganism" of the Administrative Code of the Russian Federation, having punished the actor with an administrative fine for swearing obscenities.

How did Irina Aroyan take this position? A pink blouse, a symbol of the incident, was worn on all the ladies present on the day of the announcement of the verdict. It was an act of solidarity with a woman. Vladimir Livshits, who represented the interests of the victim, managed to prove: the singer publicly humiliated the dignity of the journalist, which is an insult. The court confirmed Kirkorov's guilt by imposing a fine on him in favor of the state (60 thousand rubles). In order to exclude the charge of mercantilism, the victim of compensation for moral damage did not demand.

Apologies

Since the publication of the materials of the Rostov press conference on the Net, an unprecedented campaign to collect signatures in support of the boycott of the pop star began. 124 thousand people supported the journalist, and only 5% of Internet users found words of justification for Kirkorov. Forty periodicals of the country declared refusal to publish materials about the artist, and radio and television channels stopped twirling his songs and clips. In the editorial office, where Irina Aroyan works, every day there were calls with words of support from ordinary citizens.

It became obvious: the conflict went beyond the relations of the press and variety artists. The scandal revealed the problem of opposing the domestic elite to the rest of society. Therefore, it became important for everyone that the singer was found guilty by the court, and a public apology was brought to the woman. In December 2004, Kirkorov did this on the recordings of the Golden Gramophone. Having performed I. Nikolaev's song "A Little Pity", he reminded us of the tradition of asking for forgiveness on New Year's Eve and admitted his injustice to the Rostov journalist.

Documentary

Did the events of 2004 forget Irina Aroyan? The date of birth of the journalist (February 18) coincided, coincidentally with the assignment of Philip Kirkorov in 2008 to the title of People's Artist. Not being his fan, she wants to forget what happened. In the past, it dipped the shooting of 2012, when in Rostov-on-Don the TV series V. Shamirov ended "Local News". For extras in the hotel "Rostov" again invited local correspondents, whose task was to ask the hero Michael Polizeymako uncomfortable questions to activate the polemics.

The journalist Aroyan, who became a correspondent of the Moscow Komsomolets, asked the actor if he thinks his candidate is suitable for the role of resident ("Resident Ultimatum"), whose image is associated with the legendary Georgy Zhzhonov, who looked brutal and fit. The appearance of the actor himself does not look much like the prototype of the hero. As a result, the angry actor left the press conference, saying goodbye, that since the scandal with Kirkorov, the woman has not grown any wiser at all.

Biography

This episode confirms that Irina Aroyan, a lover of sensitive issues, does not get behind the word in her pocket. The journalist's biography, unfortunately, is little known. Her name belongs to the mother, the Armenian by nationality. His father has Russian and Belarusian roots, but the journalist does not support the relationship with him, for the parents have long since split up. At the age of 16, I made an independent decision to take my mother's surname. The woman has a philological education, with which she came to work in journalism. Lover of literature, history and travel, a woman married an Englishman early, but she could not live far from her homeland.

Most of all it was oppressed by professional lack of demand, because under the laws of Great Britain foreigners can not work for some time on the territory of the country. He considers himself to be a non-public person, who happened to be accidentally dragged into a fight with a star.

Today's Day

A woman is still being blamed for PR, although Kirkorov himself makes everyone remember what kind of Irina Aroyan is every scandal. In December 2016, on his denunciation, Frenchman Marouani was detained, with whom the singer had not settled financial issues. The REN TV channel asked for comments from the Rostov journalist. Irina still believes that this episode is only an additional touch to the moral image of the Russian star.
