Today a group of Armenian journalists, representatives of NGOs and
students of YSU Faculty of Journalism staged a protest action against
unpunished attacks against journalists, in particular the recent
assault on the President of Investigative Journalists’ Association
Edik Baghdasaryan.
They marched from the RoA Prosecutor’s Office to the Presidential
residence carrying posters with the inscriptions: "Another journalist
attacked in Armenia," "Who is to bear responsibility?" "Assailants
must be brought to justice," and the like.
Note that Press Secretary for the Prosecutor General Sona Truzyan went
up to the organisers, members of the Transparency International-Armenia
NGO, and suggested meeting with the Prosecutor General. But the
protesters disagreed and continue their march.
