Investigative Journalists of Armenia

[thedebutante]

Here's a link to a website that claims to tell the truth about what goes on in Armenia. I'm not sure how much everything is still censored, but it's worth checking out. http://www.hetq.am/eng/


Here's just a sample of what I read on the site:

Stepan Grigoryan (Armenia) - In Armenia, the method of forming the election commissions is so bad that the opposition has no possibility of appointing its representatives there. The OSCE observers, among other things, registered a funny incident where a CIS observer was caught stuffing a ballot box. As far as I know, in this respect the situation in Georgia is better, if only owing to the fact that the voters were required to mark their fingers with special ink. That is why I think in Armenia it was hard to discover the scope of violations that had been committed during the voting after the ballot boxes were opened, but in Georgia the opportunity to restore the truth still exists.

Yes, I agree. However, as with everything, take it with a grain of salt. Some accuse this organization of exaggerating to expand their audience base.

Hetq is a great site for finding out of the more troubling aspects of life in Armenia. Edik Baghdasarian is a very, very courageous journalist. As much as I despise what he writes, I am thankful that he does.

Why do you despise it so much if it's the truth?

Let me rephrase it: I don't hate what he writes. I hate the truth that he describes.
