"Why do they want this bill to pass and why do they want to hit the media with such legislation. The law on the books now is quite adequate. It’s not a question of the law in Armenia but that the laws don’t work. I have no clue as to what prompted Mr. Dallakyan to come up with such a bill," the "Hetq" editor stated. "According to the law, MP’s are prohibited from engaging in business but the majority do. A week ago they fined Samvel Aleksanyan 1.5 million AMD. The MP was producing bootleg spirits and they only fined him 1.5 million. Let Dallakyan set up a committee to look into these matters," Mr. Baghdasaryan added. Mr. Davtyan pointed out that there are interesting changes contained in the proposed modifications and cited the fact that secret wiretaps and recordings would be allowed, albeit with restrictions. "In my opinion most of what’s in the package is positive," he stated. Mr. Baghdasaryan countered by saying that in the end, whatever is included in the draft legislation will be used against journalists. "Reporters will be able to make secret recordings. Doesn’t this work to your benefit?" asked Mr. Davtyan. Mr. Baghdasaryan answered that as a journalist he was opposed to such recordings but said that it is done regardless. "When a reporter knows that such a thing has great significance on the part of the public, they do it. I just don’t understand the need to codify the practice."
