NATIONAL PRESS CLUB MAKES A STATEMENT ON ACT AGAINST MEDIA OWNER
National Press Club expresses its indignation against the terrorism act
against Ara Saghatelyan, owner of My Right newspaper and Panorama.am web
portal.
On February 8, at 20.00 unknown people threw bottles with petrol on his car
and set it on fire.
These terrorism acts before the elections make the internal political
situation in the country even tenser making it uncontrollable. As experience
shows, they target reporters and the mass media in the first place.
The National Press Club expresses concern that as a rule such crimes remain
undisclosed.
The National Press Club calls the law enforcement bodies to take up
necessary measures to discover the transgressors and punish them in order to
protect media representatives from such terrorist attacks.
