YEREVAN, JULY 6, NOYAN TAPAN. A statement was made by Stephan Safarian,
the Secretary of the Zharangutiun (Heritage) faction of the RA National
Assembly, during the debate organized on July 6 that not only the
Zharangutiun (Heritage) faction, but also the other opposition
force, as well as some individual MPs played a great role in the
failure of the adoption of the package of bills, which envisaged
to make amendments and addenda in the RA laws on "State duty" and
"Radio and Television." In response to the question of whether the
failure of those bills was connected with responses of international
organizations, he mentioned that the protection of the interests of
the Azatutiun (Liberty) radio station were more important for him,
personally, than those responses of international organizations,
"as the Azatutiun stands out with its comprehensive media among other
numerous mass media."
In response to the question of why Larisa Alaverdian, a member of the
Zharangutiun (Heritage) faction, declared in one of her interviews
that the world community can shake its finger at Armenia, S. Safarian
mentioned that if Armenia lives according to international standards
and the rules of the whole world, as well as receives financial
assistance from foreign organizations, then it should take their
points of view into consideration.
