IS THE SOCIETY GUILTY OF A1+’S CLOSURE?

“TV Companies shouldn't be treated harshly. Moreover TV Companies shouldn't be closed down,” says David Harutiunian, the Chairperson of the NA Standing Committee on State and Legal Issues.

In reply to A1+'s question why a TV Company's closure is ignored in Armenia, the former Justice Minister said, “I think that the society is to be blamed for it. Our society and the freedom of mass media are concordant.”

It is difficult to say whether independent mass media boost democracy or democracy is a major precondition for independent mass media. It resembles the well-known dispute of the egg and hen?

The events in the country are resulted by democratic developments.

Do you mean that A1+ wouldn’t have been closed down if the society were different?

I think so.
