Petros Ghazaryan’s interview was unilateral

On June 30, Petros Ghazaryan’s guest on Public TV was Grigor Minasyan, PhD in Law, Lawyer, Head of AM Law Firm. The topic of the discussion was the developments over the Constitutional Court. Petros Ghazaryan’s questions mainly started with the phrase “former authorities.” “Former authorities and their satellites state this is an overthrow of the constitutional order… Why the former government is trying to keep Hrayr Tovmasyan at all costs, we definitely don’t need new Hrayr Tovmasyans, why did he go on holiday at this critical moment? Why is this the last bastion for the former authorities? The former authorities want collapse today, right now․” It was obvious that the host was expressing his position, which he is not allowed to do in terms of professional ethics. As a result, the program turned out to be very subjective and unbalanced. Petros Ghazaryan did not oppose Grigor Minasyan’s legal and political assessments, as pro-government ideas were voiced.
