media, expressed concerns about the decision of the Armenian court of
the Kentron and the Nork-Marash administrative districts obliging
Armenian mass media to name their sources of information, Arminfo
reports.
Miyatovich reminded that journalists had the right for secrecy of
information, as one of the principles for self-expression.

Shirak Police Chief Vardan Nadaryan had stopped the car of Artur
Alexanyan, hit him and threatened him and his brother with a gun. The
Special Investigative Service initiated a criminal case. Prosecutor
General Gevork Kostanyan said that the journalist should give his
source of information in cases of grave and exceptionally grave
crimes. The National Press Club demanded an appeal.
