Armenia’s PM described him and working style of own mass media: Satik Seyranyan on Pashinyan’s statement

Head of Journalists Union Satik Seyranyan said she viewed yesterday’s live video of the prime minister twice.

Speaking to Aysor.am, Seyranyan said if the words would have been uttered by anyone else, she would have tried to understand it.

“If it was said by another person I would have tried to treat it with understanding. To understand why he says so, to analyze the reasons, lexicon, the nervous movements. But as far as it is being spoken about Nikol Pashinyan I was remembering all those cases that happened with his car, in his editor’s office,” she said, adding that yesterday Nikol Pashinyan was speaking about himself, about the activity of his own media.

“During all these years the media headed by him worked in such way. He was very clearly describing him and his working style,” she said, adding that his only hope was that his colleagues would have morality and would not remind him the numerous cases.

“But he forgets one thing, very often he tried to pick information from previous authorities through blackmailing. Everything that Nikol Pashinyan says does not correspond to reality and describes himself. Such lexicon is not proper to country’s PM. He did not stop being a certain type of article writer serving interests of a concrete segment,” Seyranyan said.

Earlier Media Advocate and head of Freedom of Speech Protection Committee urged the PM to avoid making such statements about mass media.
