USA CONCERNED ABOUT MEDIA SITUATION IN ARMENIA
Yerevan, 24 September: US Helsinki Commission Deputy Chief of Staff
Dorothy Douglas Taft has said that “in Armenia, media critical of the
government continue to experience considerable pressure”.
Mediamax reports that Dorothy Douglas Taft said this at the OSCE
Human Dimension Implementation Meeting in Warsaw.
“In Armenia, media critical of the government continue to experience
considerable pressure. Specifically, A1+ TV is still barred from the
airwaves, despite intervention from the OSCE’s Representative on the
Media, the Council of Europe and foreign capitals,” Dorothy Douglas
Taft said.
The US Commission on Security and Cooperation in Europe (Helsinki
Commission) is an independent federal agency of the US Congress.
