WHAT THE GOVERNMENT WANTS

Yesterday, Haylur news program of the National Channel was again at
its highness for several reasons. First, the 90 percent of the "main"
news program of the country was dedicated to Turkey and Azerbaijan.

The rest 10 percent was shared between Hrant Dink and massacres of
Armenians in Baku in 1990. Plus the Turkish foreign ministry presented
a statement posting it on its website to which the Armenian foreign
minister responded. And the program is ready.

Yesterday the court condemned our partner, the editor-in-chief of
Haykakan Zhamanak daily Nikol Pashinyan to 7 years of imprisonment.

But Haylur did not dwell on this event at all. Interestingly, the news
about Nikol’s trial was not even covered like a verdict against the
"enemy of the nation".

Nikol Pashinyan like Hrant Dink fights for a more democratic,
free country. Nikol wants to build a country which would become the
guarantee of security and dignity of all Armenians living all over the
world for massacres like the one in Baku not to take place any more.

It is difficult to say what the Armenian government and Haylur want,
but they promote Armenia’s not being a strong, free and well-being
country. Perhaps, this is the reason why no essential event enjoys
their attention. Instead, the most superficial monitoring of the
governmental propaganda shows the tragic reality which is overwhelmed
with Turkish-Azerbaijani informational background (pr-specialists
will confirm that the vocabulary and shading are not essential)
on which the government in fact bases its home policy.
