CP members who consider journalists “killers” want to silence them by law

Arman Tatoyan writes: “The CP members, who consider journalists to be “killers”, want to silence their unfavorable coverage by law.

Can you imagine if they say you don’t have the right to cover other approaches based on facts besides the official news on security topics?

The basis for this approach was my findings that the Azerbaijani side made military advances and fortifications in our territory in Vardenis and Jermuk.

A free press, critical journalism, and accountable government strengthen the state, not weaken it. Democracy and security are not opposites, but complement each other. Not either, but both, and. and security and democracy.

And when the government starts to fear journalists and tries to silence them by law, it means that it is actually afraid of its own people.

This is what Nikol Pashinyan is trying to do. to bring Azerbaijani order and engage only in false propaganda.

In a democratic state, independent mass media are the fourth branch of government, which ensure public control over the government. Where they try to silence journalists, democracy ends.

Journalists in Armenia will not remain silent, no matter how much the government tries to intimidate them with new unconstitutional laws.

I will always be by their side, regardless of my position.”
