We publicly refuse to send a formal question. Editors:

It became known yesterday that Prime Minister NikolPashinyan is holding a press conference in the coming days, thus, it is planned to give the media an opportunity to present one question.

The previous experience has proved that such “online contacts” take place in a prepared scenario, onlythe questions by the pro-government media, telegram channel and bloggersare publicized during these events, who, apparently, agree in advance with the organizers of the event, and in the case of the questions by other media – they are either ignored, or edited, or distorted.

Given these precedents, we, the editors of the undersigned media outlets, publicly refuse to send a formal question. We call on the Prime Minister’s Office to return to the classic style of the press conference.
