TV Company "Mig" in Vanadzor has been ordered not to broadcast the
interview with Arthur Baghdasaryan, the press service of Orinats
Yerkir Party informed.

According to the statement made by the party, two days ago the TV
Company conducted an interview with Arthur Baghdasaryan informing that
it will be broadcast on Saturday. Nevertheless, yesterday the head
of the TV Company said that they have been prohibited to broadcast
the interview.

"Moreover, according to our information the interview has been watched
according to the rules of the 1937 censorship, and the TV Company has
factually been oppressed. Alongside with this, the governing parties
have flooded the television with political commercials. "Orinats
Yerkir" condemns the obstacles artificially created on their path
and the oppressions of freedom of speech", the statement says.
