Anna Israyelyan: Those who dare say anything to PM are called remains of former regime, those wearing T-shirts with his photo are called “devotees”

Those praising Armenia’s Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, wearing shirts with his photos are “devotees” and those who dare say something to him, who claim that his low quality staff is not only in the broadcast sector but other as well, are described as the remains of the former regime or just furious for not getting money anymore, editor of Aravot.am Anna Israelyan told Aysor.am, referring to the known statement of Armenia’s PM about mass media.

“Instead of voicing addressed, nominal statements and urges, I will just propose one thing – there was one TV program “”Uncalled guests” and they visited his apartment, and the apartments of many of us, including mine. I am a reporter for over 30 years and during whole my life I worked in two places. Compare and you will get answers to many questions,” she concluded.

Earlier Media Advocate, Freedom of Press Protection Committee’s chairman urged the PM to avoid such statements in the address of the mass media.

Speaking live on Facebook, Armenia’s PM said that mass media is furious as they used to get money from the former regime and now they don’t.
