NATIONAL PRESS CLUB CONDEMNS JOURNALISTS PERSECUTION
National Press Club reacted angrily to the last night violence by issuing a
statement.
The club members protest mass arrests and brutality. National Assembly

"We once again called on Robert Kocharyan and ruling coalition parties to
stop violence and respect opposite opinions", National Press Club's members
said in their statement.
They also urged all those appreciating freedom to unite in order to protect
