RA Ombudsman Armen Harutyunyan severely condemns the recurrent
infringement against media representatives.
The statement spread by Press and PR Department of the Human Right
Defender’ s Office notes that the attacks against the journalists badly
harms the reputation of the country and jeopardizes the full guarantee
of the freedom of speech and accessibility of information. Yesterday’s
assault against editor of ” Iravunk” newspaper Hovhannes Galachian
was the recurrent action against freedom of press.
The Ombudsman calls on law-enforcement bodies to be most consistent
and anticipates that corresponding bodies will disclose any step aimed
at disturbing the journalists’ activity and the guilty will punished
with the whole strength of law.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
