“When I find out who the president of our country is, I will hold him accountable” (video)
Director of “A1+” TV company Mesrop Movsesyan, while touching upon overnight clashes and violence used against the journalists, has come to a conclusion that these methods of banditry aim at silencing the media outlets and cutting off their tongue, breaking the camera and head, “And beat in general. My grandmother used to say that there is God above; it means that there is only one truth for everybody and they will pay for it. Simply ‘above’ means something different and some other men for some people.” He thinks that everything must be displayed and broadcast, “Neither Vova Gasparyan, nor the president is to decide whether this or that footage must be broadcast or not, the editor and the journalist working on the scene are to decide it. Yesterday all the journalists were singled out from the people, were stopped in an open area and literally appeared under bombardment. How can the Police Chief believing in God explain it? Maybe it is the first night he slept peacefully and maybe he is asleep until now. Such things happen all over the world, but power in our country are a little wilder; they turned it into a planet of apes. The Police Chief is a very little person to make decisions by himself, and the person, who makes decisions, is silent as always. During all these years the style is the same, simply ink has been changed; generation has been changed, which today wants to become established, but the night’s events aimed at frightening them.” As for the question whether the security of the journalists implementing their professional activities is ensured and whether they can stop the work for security reasons and left the scene, Mesrop Movsesyan added, “At night I visited our journalist Robert Ananyan; he has numerous injuries, but he isn’t frightened, he is simply shocked. He worked bleeding for about an hour. As for who we must hold accountable for all this, I can answer- when I find out who our president is, I will demand from him; we simply have phenomena like mummies, who make decisions so that they are backed.”
