    Another false interview on 1NEWS.az website this time with Armenian
    Ombudsman

    2009-03-12 12:50:00


    ArmInfo. Azerbaijani website 1NEWS.az has replenished its line of
    false interviews with another interview this time with Armenian
    Ombudsman Armen Haroutiunyan. In this connection,
    the press-service of the Armenian Ombudsman has disseminated the report
    below.

    'On March 11 www.1news.az portal has published an 'exclusive interview'
    by 1news.az special correspondent to Armenia Mark Merkuryev with
    Armenian Ombudsman Armen Haroutiunyan entitled "Armen Haroutiunyan:
    Human rights protection in Armenia in Crisis". We are very grateful to
    the author not-existing in Armenia for such high attention to human
    rights problems in Armenia. Such problems are characteristic to any
    country in the post-Soviet area including in the South Caucasus. In
    this context, ombudsmen should be impartial in their assessments.
    However, the comment on the exclusiveness of the non-existing interview
    with Armenian ombudsman is not clear. It is a direct violation of both
    journalistic ethics and competence as well as the acknowledged
    international norms of copyright protection, which may lead to certain
    responsibility. Actually, covering human rights issues the author
    violates them at the same time. The good selection of texts from
    various sources of information accompanied with invented questions is
    not the best example of journalistic creativity. The address to the
    visitors of the website www.1news.az says: "YOU WILL BE THE FIRST TO BE
    INFORMED on our website! The quality is guaranteed." We urge you to
    stop such practice of false interviews. We propose you a good format,
    an interview with South Caucasus Ombudsman. The impartiality of every
    one will reflect the level of pluralism in the given public', the
    source reports.
