FREEDOM OF SPEECH ACCORDING TO SERGE SARGSYAN

Politics

Press in Armenia is free, Defense Minister Serge Sargsyan stated when responding to «A1+» reporter's question referring to the recent statement by Robert Kocharian, who said that we have a strong country.

In answer to the question «The international reports have many times noted that press in Armenia is not free. Don't you think that a strong state can afford free press and while there is a closed TV Company in the country, it cannot be considered strong?» Serge Sargsyan said, «There were tenders announced. You could win but you didn't. If you had won, other companies could say they had been closed.»
