Authorities Are Undermining and Obstructing Media Operations, Says 'Zhoghovurd'

'Zhoghovurd' newspaper reports: 'Despite the noise raised by the media, the authorities continue to undermine and obstruct media operations in every possible way. Not only is there a legislative restriction imposed by the National Assembly on advertising for totalizators, but there will also be changes made today during the government session to the 'Advertising Law,' which will completely prohibit advertising for totalizators on television, radio, or the internet.

This decision will come into effect six months after its publication. This means that even if this project is discussed only in September, next year, media outlets will face serious challenges as advertising is a source of income. It should be noted that we can expect anything from the authorities, who routinely complicate journalists' work, including restricting movement in the National Assembly and banning advertisements.'
