On Tuesday Armenian National Press Club came up with a statement
condemning “another terrorist attack on independent press”.

On Monday, Haykakan Zhamanak newspaper car blew up just outside the
newspaper office.

National Press Club expresses solidarity with the newspaper editorial
board and voicing alarm at growing atmosphere of impunity and
lawlessness in the republic demands the authorities to track down
and prosecute masterminds and perpetrators of the act.

Attacks on independent media journalists became dangerously commonplace
and their lives are under constant threat in Armenia, the statement
says.

the Club says time had already come to restore law observance in the
republic. Otherwise, mounting violence can inflict irreparable damage
to the republic.
