It is the second time, when the live streaming of the Armenian National Assembly plenaries start without sound, when opposition lawmakers open the sessions with statements.
On December 10, the public was unable to listen to the statement made by opposition ‘Armenia’ bloc lawmaker Arman Vardevanyan, and by a strange coincidence, the sound was switched on only after his remarks.
This was the case during the December 6 session when the parliament session started with delayed audio at a time when another opposition MP was delivering a speech.
These actions of the ruling force in charge of the National Assembly leadership come to prove the assessment of the “Freedom of Information Center” NGO, labeling the National Assembly as a state body threatening the freedom of information and restricting the rights of reporters.
