Manana Aslamazyan wins top Russian TV award
Internews Europe Executive Director Manana Aslamazyan won the highly coveted Tefi award in Russia for "Personal Contribution to the Development of Russian Television."
The prize was handed by Head of Russian Television Academy Foundation Mikhail Shvidkoy.
In 2007, Manana Aslamazyan had to leave Russia following a scandal at a checkpoint for allegedly not declaring large amounts of money while crossing the border.
Charges of contraband were made against Ms. Aslamazyan and were later rejected by the Constitutional Court which after review exonerated Ms. Aslamazyan.
Since leaving Russia in 2007, Ms. Aslamazyan has become the Executive Director of Internews Europe and continues to remain engaged with Internews globally.
