Below is a statement by the Union of journalists of Armenia: The incumbent authorities of Armenia continue with their already overt practice of obstructing the professional activities of journalists, and this is targeted against freedom of speech and press freedom. A regular, yet unusual and sensational incident took place on May 9 when Ani Gevorgyan, a journalist for ArmNews TV and Tert.am news website, asked acting Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan a question at Yerablur Military Pantheon. The journalist’s attempts to approach Pashinyan were prevented by several police officers and security officers dressed in uniforms, as well as civilians who were dressed in sportswear and are ensuring Pashinyan’s security with a status and on a basis not known to the public.
