You are the cheapest propaganda, and that's final: Araik Harutyunyan

The head of the staff of the Prime Minister of Armenia, Araik Harutyunyan, has addressed a press publication regarding the meeting that took place yesterday at the Sports and Concert Complex, stating that many representatives of state bodies gathered to discuss important issues, present their proposals through voting, and listen to the country's leaders.

Harutyunyan mentioned that he would talk about this separately, then continued to say that he is again speaking about the press, noting that there were about 7,500 people in the complex, the overwhelming majority from the public sector. In the last moments, there were almost no empty chairs.

He presents a situation where people go home and open one of the publications and read, “Now these people go home, open my 'beloved' 'Hraparak' and read that they 'took off' from the event. How will the majority of them relate to this media outlet from now on? Of course, they will consider it trivial and will no longer open it. When I say you are not engaged in journalism, you get offended. You are the cheapest propaganda, and that's final,” wrote Harutyunyan.
