Eduard Aghajanyan made insulting remarks regarding the media

The Chief of Staff of the Government of the Republic of Armenia Eduard Aghajanyan made unacceptable expressions regarding the media.

Eduard Aghajanyan’s insulting expressions addressed to the media are unacceptable. It is not appropriate for a high-ranking official to address the free press in such a way.

The Chief of Staff of the Government considered the news publications related to the renovation costs of Government House No. 1 to be false․ Nevertheless Eduard Aghajanyan himself did not present any factual data to prove his point.

Eduard Aghajanyan defined as false news the publication, according to which the NA deputy Hrachya Hakobyan was actively engaged in the election of the contractor company. Eduard Aghajanyan did not present any justification in this case either.

“Media Advocate” initiative urges Eduard Aghajanyan to respect his own position and while presenting refutation regarding media reports, not to go beyond the limits of politeness.
