YEREVAN, JULY 24, ARMENPRESS: Armenian prime minister Andranik Margarian condemned last Saturday violence against journalists describing it as ‘one of the shadow sides of Armenia’s democratic advance.”
Speaking to reporters after the extraordinary conference of his Republican Party Margarian said a recent arson attack on the editorial office of the weekly Chorrord Iskhanutyun must be condemned and repetitions of such incidents must be ruled out.
Margarian also called on journalists not to politicize the case of Arman Babajanian, the chief editor of the Yerevan Zhamanak daily who is facing trial on charges of forging papers to dodge obligatory military service.
Asked whether his party is going to cooperate with the Prosperous Armenia party of Gagik Tsarukian the prime minister said it was early to speak about it as the Prosperous Armenia was not yet an established party. He said his party will work to maintain and increase the number of seats it has in the parliament and also its leverages in the government.
