La storia evidenziata sulla prima pagina dell’edizione inglese di azatutyun.am ha una foto particolare di Pashinyan. Il contesto sono le discussioni nel sottotitolo sull’esistenza di pregiudizi in questi media.

No less of an indication of a bias is them promoting stories like this https://www.azatutyun.am/a/32936879.html and in English no less! lol

But unlike others I don’t think there has been any “infiltration” (and I would like to see specific names mentioned when people discuss that) and that Azatutyun is simply toeing the line dictated from DC. American interest in Armenia and the region has been a bit too large (comparatively) for them to not exert any control on its editorial policy. And there has been no indication of a displeasure towards Azatutyun from their backers. They’re still the go-to media org for many big faces in the US and EU.

And this goes back to things like freedom or democracy indexes. We have heard for a long time of things not being done by the book in Armenia but many had assumed that those would be sweeped under the rug. Azatutyun on the other hand, had been reproting on those infractions religiously. And what do we have in the end? Several warnings from leading int orgs on the internal affairs of Armenia (while still being overall positive). Imho Azatutyun is and has been sending signals to the current government on many topics.
