Pro-government lawmakers propose restrictions on press YEREVAN (Azatutyun.am) In a bill criticized by press freedom groups, several pro-government members of Armenia’s parliament have proposed restrictions on the use of anonymous sources in news stories reported by the Armenian media. The bill publicized this week would specifically ban broadcasters, newspapers and online publications from citing websites and social media accounts belonging to unknown individuals. In an explanatory note attached to the proposed amendments to an Armenian law on mass media, the lawmakers affiliated with Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan’s My Step bloc say that disseminating information from “sources of unknown origin” could endanger the country’s national security.
