YEREVAN, MARCH 17, ARMENPRESS. Media regulators in Ottawa have formally outlawed RT and RT France on Wednesday, saying their programming went against government policy and undermined democracy, RT reports.

Most Canadian operators have already pulled the networks off air, citing the conflict in Ukraine.
