During the sixth Pan-Armenian Forum of Journalists, head of `Yerkir
Media' news department Gegham Manukyan said that turkish media must
not be a base for us.
`On September 17, this year, turkish `Hyuriette' published an article
about the visit of the Pope, mainly noting that the Christian
community was unhappy with that visit and there were some quotations
in the article as well. However, as we were able to find out from one
of the authors of quotes, he had not said such a thing. And he will
give the denying text later on', said Gegham Manukyan and added that
while they were finding out the truth behind that article, some media
representatives, such as news.am and tert.am had already published it.
`I had to call as ask them to remove that news. So, what happens is,
our media posts false news quoting turkish media'.
Manukyan believes that Armenian media has become a sponge of turkish
and azerbaijani media: they gather turkish and azerbaijani news and
return to news field.
`Turkish media is some administrative center speaker, so why should we
copy them out? You will not find any turkish paper today, which writes
anything about Oskanyan', said he and added that azerbaijani media
sometimes becomes the second source of the news, as they have russian
translation as well.
