The editors of “Hayeli.am” and “Armlur.am” were questioned about the death of Hayk Harutyunyan.

The editors of “Hayeli.am” and “Armlur.am” websites were interrogated today as witnesses in the criminal case initiated regarding the death of Hayk Harutyunyan.

They refused the proposal of the pre-investigative body to videotape the interrogation and, citing Article 5 of the RA Law “On Mass Media”, did not reveal the source of the information.

As reported by the press service of the Central Committee, to the investigator’s question that the eyewitness to the incident, having read the publications, denied the circumstances presented in the publications, the media representatives did not express a position regarding the contradictory information and clarified that they only published the information reported by their sources, again refusing to identify the source.

“We announce that the witness who witnessed the death of Hayk Harutyunyan stated in his additional testimony that he did not give any information about the incident to the mass media. Moreover, he expressed indignation about the misinformation in the mass media,” the statement said.
