YEREVAN, MARCH 21, NOYAN TAPAN. "Today we all face an important task,
to cure the wound and not to rub salt on it," RA President Robert
Kocharian said at the March 20 press conference. Applying to the
journalists, he said: "Many and many things depend on you, logical
discussions of issues can be done in a more quiet condition." According
to him, some newpapers to be printed on March 21 "will be just flooded
with false rumors, different calls, their content for sure will not
serve calming down and stabilization of the situation."
The RA President said that he just will not read these newspapers
and in such cases the best step is to neglect. R. Kocharian does not
consider expedient trials against journalists, as the authorities have
no time to file cases in courts. Besides, for European structures,
a trial between an official and press means pressure upon press.
