Yerevan, 7 September: The 6 September attack on the editor of Iravunk
newspaper, Ovanes Galadzhyan, is another attempt on freedom of speech,
Armenian ombudsman Armen Arutyunyan has said in a statement.
According to Armenia's main rights campaigner, attacks on journalists
and creating obstacles to their work might inflict serious damage on
our country's standing and threaten the full exercise of freedom and
access to information in Armenia. Arutyunyan called on the Armenian
law-enforcement agencies to be consistent and expressed confidence
that any act of violence against representatives of the media will
not go unpunished and the culprits will be punished with the full
severity of the law.
