Armenian authorities have in recent months made Heritage Party's
informational blockade far more severe, not allowing Heritage's
views on the developments over the Armenian-Turkish relations and
Nagorno-Karabakh to reach the public through television broadcast,
said Heritage Party faction member Armen Martirosyan during the
February 7 Parliamentary Week program.
"In addition, authorities made illegal decisions and took illegal
steps, not allowing the people, with Heritage acting as mediator,
to raise their voices from such authoritative platforms as the
Council of Europe and the OSCE. As you know, the trickery organized
by authorities hampers the activities that Heritage parliamentarians
carry out in those bodies, activities which are beneficial for the
nation," said Martirosyan.
According to the Heritage Party MP, in an effort to hide their
own wilfulness, the authorities have stirred up the usual hysteria
against Heritage and have started to deliver "lectures about tolerance"
and speak about "betrayal" and "anti-state activities." According to
him the authorities are doing this through media outlets which are
"submissive" and ready to be of complete service to the authorities.
Martirosyan also mentioned that this anti-Heritage campaign is
accompanied by calls to restrict the party activities of Heritage.
