IT IS HIGHLY RECOMMENDED TO MAKE AMENDMENTS TO LAW ON MASS MEDIA
The Institute of Information and Law recommends making amendments to the law on Mass Media after the young participants of “Miasin” (“Together”) movement pasted the photos of the corrupted professors on the walls of our city. Karen Andreasyan, the director of “Defense” Law Company, former professor of law faculty presented the project of changes.
According to him they have been thinking about it a year ago, but after seeing the photos of their colleagues on the walls they became more decisive.
It is recommended to make amendments to the Civil Legislation and to define 1 million AMD fine for the citizens or the organizations who will announce slanderous accusation, if it is not a fact but an opinion then they should be fined by 500 thousand AMD, and if it has been made by a representative of mass media then the fine should be doubled.
