The NA RPA MP Shushan Petrosyan, in addition to public apology to radio “Liberty” journalist, also apologized during the one on one talk. As informed by the journalist, Shushan Petrosyan had assured the journalist at the private conversation that she had no intention to insult, nor a desire. The radio “Liberty” journalist refused to introduce the details of the talk, only saying that the MP again explained that she meant the offensive comments posted under the interview, and some journalists’ practice of work. “But the journalists have nothing to do with these comments. I also had not interviewed her to post comments underneath, in short, there was no problem with me, and my personality,” said the journalist. To our question that usually during the incidents with the MPs and in such behavior, the journalists promptly apply to the NA Ethics Committee, and why they did not go for it initially, when she had not still asked for forgiveness, you declared that you would not apply to the Committee, Ruzanna Stepanyan responded, “I had no desire to do it, I think that the person must first realize its action, and make conclusions, if not, I do not see a sense in applying to this or that instance to impose and persuade. She insulted and apologized, it’s completely sufficient. What else was she supposed to do?” As for Shushan Petrosyan’s observation that she had given two or three interviews to radio “Liberty” in the last two years, I was asked a question, I am not interested who is standing in front of me, then I see the cut offs, this is a working mode, they are paid for it, they are implementing orders and so on, but apart from this, filthy talks are my freedom and my right…” Ruzanna Stepanyan did not recall an interview that they had interviewed the singer in the last few years. “I do not know, what interview she was talking about, I tried to understand but failed to see which interview she was referring to. I do not remember an interview that we have had with her in recent times. This, however, was my first experience of interviewing her.”
