Levon Ter-Petrossian Youth Group Protests

A1 Plus reports on the activities of a youth group, Menk (We), that has started its activities in support of former president Levon Ter-Petrossian. In what appears to be its first action, the group has protested what it considers to be biased news coverage by the television broadcast media in Armenia.

The young people were annoyed by the distorted news broadcasted by all TV channels on the gathering organized by Levon Ter-Petrosyan in Artashat. “That is why we have decided to protect our rights. We demand and urge the TV channels to provide information coming out their consciences and present the reality and not to obey to the authorities’ pressures”, said Arthur Minasyan, representative of “Menq” movement initiative.

According to the organizers of the action, all TV channels broadcast the news based on the mutual agreement with H1. During the action, the participants also disseminated Ter-Petrosyan’s leaflets with “We will win”, “Let’s clean the stables from bandits”, “We will taste the fruits of victory together on 19 February” slogans.
