ArmInfo.Heads of a number of media outlets in Armenia addressed an open letter to Acting Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan to change the preventive measure against General Director of H2 channel Samvel Mayrapetyan.
The letter, signed by the leaders of 11 media, a copy of which was also sent to Prosecutor General Artur Davtyan and the head of the Special Investigation Service Sasun Khachatryan, notes that Samvel Mayrapetyan is under arrest in connection with a 10.5-year-old case based on the accusations of one person in helping to receive bribes. During this period, Samvel Mayrapetyan's lawyers appealed to all instances with a request to change the preventive measure. Some representatives of the intelligentsia and the leaders of a number of media outlets of the country joined these requirements, but these efforts were not crowned with success. In this regard, media leaders are counting on the assistance of the head of government.
