IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO MAKE AMENDMENTS TO LAW ON MASS MEDIA
The Institute of Information and Law recommends making amendments to
the law on Mass Media after the young participants of `Miasin’
(`Together’) movement pasted the photos of the corrupted professors on
the walls of our city. Karen Andreasyan, the director of `Defense’ Law
Company, former professor of law faculty presented the project of
changes.
According to him they have been thinking about it a year ago, but
after seeing the photos of their colleagues on the walls they became
more decisive.
It is recommended to make amendments to the Civil Legislation and to
define 1 million AMD fine for the citizens or the organizations who
will announce slanderous accusation, if it is not a fact but an
opinion then they should be fined by 500 thousand AMD, and if it has
been made by a representative of mass media then the fine should be
doubled.
