    Text of report by Armenian newspaper Aravot on 30 November headlined
    "Political asylum for journalist"

    30 November: Armenian journalist Vaagn Gukasyan has got a political
    asylum in France for 10 years. The problems that Gukasyan has faced
    during his journalistic investigation in Armenia are the reason for
    this decision. He has been beaten up at the police station, his studio
    has been burnt out and interrogations have been accompanied with
    lawfulness.

    The journalist has telephoned from Paris and said that despite the
    opportunity to become a citizen of France, he would return to Armenia
    after the regime change.
