YEREVAN, JULY 3, NOYAN TAPAN. "The United States of America supports
freedom of expression and media and evaluates negatively any attempt
of limiting media freedom in Armenia or in any other country," the
statement spread by the U.S. State Department on July 2 read.
Presenting the position of the U.S. State Department about the
bills being discussed at the RA National Assembly, the authors of the
statement said: "We do not understand how the proposed legislation can
promote the wish announced by the RA government, related to permanent
democratization, especially after the parliamentary elections held
in May, which registered a step forward, meanwhile reflecting the
necessity of further improvement in the direction of democratic
standards." "In particular, we will be deeply anxious about any
legislation, which will limit the possibilities of Radio Liberty's
broadcasting in Armenia," the State Department's statement read.
