ARSON IS A MEANS TO INFLUENCE PRESS
[07:02 pm] 09 February, 2007

`Heritage’ party is deeply worried about the new wave of violence in the
country on the eve of the upcoming Parliamentary elections. In this
connection the party condemns the arson of the car of Ara Saghatelyan, owner
of Panorama.am and the periodical `My Rights’.

`It is obvious that certain powers try to enhance the atmosphere of fear
created by the authorities and to limit the freedom of speech. Not only
oppositional politicians, by also representatives of Mass Media who are
interested in giving the people unbiased information become targets for
intimidation’, says the statement made by the party.

Let us remind you that yesterday at 08:15 p.m. unknown people set the car of
Ara Saghatelyan on fire.
