ArmInfo. The campaign headquarters of the runner-up in the recent
presidential elections, former President of Armenia Levon Ter-Petrosyan
blamed the Armenian authorities for information blockade against
population.
According to the headquarters’ March 1 statement, the Armenian
authorities used force against the peaceful demonstrators and have
done their best to give as less information to the public as possible
since Saturday morning. On the one hand, Armenian TV channels present
unilateral information (with partial exception of Yerkir Media
channel). On the other hand, the fragments of foreign TV companies’
programs concerning the events in Armenia are not shown by the order
and with the open interference of the authorities. In particular, the
matter concerns the First Channel of Russia, Euronews and CNN. "Levon
Ter-Petrosyan’s campaign headquarters qualifies this as violation of
citizens’ rights to get information, as well as terrorism and blockade
against people", the statement says.
