Armenia: Oppositional Civil Society
Blogian comments on a column published by the USA Armenian Life Magazine which refers to an email from an ostensibly environmental NGO in Armenia attacking the publication and its pro-governmental views. The incident raises questions surrounding the funding of civil society in Armenia
While saying that he wasn’t surprised to receive e-mails of both support and disagreement from individual activists to his message delivered on behalf of a group of Armenain-American journalists, Jabarian - who is often regarded as nationalist for his views - says an offensive letter from a non-governmental organization (NGO) was quite unexpected. The Diasporan journalist says that a short research finds that the NGO in question is, in theory, working for environmental issues and is funded by an organization based in the United States.
