`NO BRAIN WASHING’
[08:36 pm] 07 February, 2008
`Menq’ youth movement organized a march in Yerevan
streets with `No brain washing’, `No H1′, `Do not
believe in H1′ posters. They were holding a TV set,
with the flags of 7 TV channels and with the logo of
H1 and a big red cross on the screen of the TV set.
The young people were annoyed by the distorted news
broadcasted by all TV channels on the gathering
organized by Levon Ter-Petrosyan in Artashat. `That is
why we have decided to protect our rights. We demand
and urge the TV channels to provide information coming
out their consciences and present the reality and not
to obey to the authorities’ pressures’, said Arthur
Minasyan, representative of `Menq’ movement
initiative.
According to the organizers of the action, all TV
channels broadcast the news based on the mutual
agreement with H1. During the action, the participants
also disseminated Ter-Petrosyan’s leaflets with `We
will win’, `Let’s clean the stables from bandits’, `We
will taste the fruits of victory together on 19
February’ slogans.
The participants of the march stopped in the Liberty
Square, where they broke the TV set in the eyes of
passers-by. This action symbolized distorted
information, which did not promote the establishment
of civil society and the constitutional order.
