Armenia has no independent mass media, the local mass media are
divided into the pro-power and oppositional ones, Head of the Helsinki
Association of Armenia Mikael Danielyan told ArmInfo.
He said some electron mass media are trying to demonstrate certain
impartiality from time to
time. One event is covered objectively, while another one –
non-objectively and one-sidedly. ‘Discontent of the Armenian president
administration with one or another mass media is not an indicator of
objectivity for me either. Independence of mass media is important
for me, however, it is absent in Armenia’, – M. Danielyan said.
