[05:12 pm] 12 October, 2007
RA Ombudsman Armen Harutiunian condemns the recent encroachment on a
journalist.
To remind, yesterday unknown people assailed Ruzan Minasyan, a
journalist of `Aravot’ daily.
Armen Harutiunian considers the recurring assault irrelevant with
which has taken the track for democracy and the rule of law.
"If a journalist’s activity stirs up intolerance among public, the
matter should be solved in a legal way. Any assault jeopardizes the
independence of free media and endangers the country’s reputation."
