VIDEO: MP Arthur Hovhannisyan Misinterprets Radio Aurora Report and Defames the Media from the Parliament

MP Arthur Hovhannisyan of the ruling party addressed accusations from the opposition during the National Assembly session on January 21, questioning why ruling party members do not condemn Vahagn Aleksanyan's statement referring to certain journalists as "verbal prostitutes." Hovhannisyan claimed that the host of "Radio Aurora" was convincing listeners that the Armenian authorities were granting the Mehri corridor to Azerbaijan. He stated, "I am coming to work by taxi and listening to 'Radio Aurora,' where the host, a journalist, is convincing the audience that the Armenian authorities are giving the Mehri corridor to the Azerbaijanis. Some organized individuals are calling in, saying things. Now I want to understand what our colleague Vahagn Aleksanyan would call all this," said Hovhannisyan.
