Armine Ohanyan, senior editor of “Zhamanak Yerevan” (Times of Yerevan) daily has been sacked from the position for posting information that was balanced but not always sympathetic to Levon Ter-Petrosyan and his supporters.

Arman Babajanyan, owner of the newspaper and its editor-in-chief has made the decision from prison, where he has been sentenced to three years on charges relating to falsifying military records. Rights activists insist the true reason for his imprisonment has been the oppositional stand of his newspaper (see 2007 Review: Instances of abuse continue).
