HAKOB AVEDIKIAN: A JOURNALIST SHOULD HAVE PERSONAL IMMUNITY
"A journalist should have personal immunity like a policeman who
preserves the state order," Hakob Avedikian, Editor-in-chief of "Azg"
Daily Newspaper, said at the press conference at "Friday" club,
touching upon the cases of the pressure over the
journalists. Mr. Avedikian added that the journalists should be
consistent in this issue. As the relevant bodies take advantage of the
journalists' passiveness. "Certainly, there have always been cases of
pressure against the journalists in the world, but in a developed
country all cases of violence against the journalists are revealed and
the guilty are punished. We are a professional caste, and, as the
rules of a jungle are applied in our country, we should also defend
our professional rights and protect ourselves, until the relevant
bodies begin implementing their duties," he emphasized.
He stated that any power should fear of the word of a orphan-like
country. Mr. Avedikian stated that the activities of the clubs should
become more civilized.
