On December 15, the editorial office of the newspaper Zhoghovurd received a letter from the staff of the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia, informing that the journalist accredited by the media outlet, Knar Manoukyan, was given a warning for violating the procedure of work of media representatives in the parliament, and since this is the second penalty for the current year, she is deprived of her accreditation. This time, the warning was issued for the fact that the journalist carried out her activities not in the part of the building where it is allowed. Besides, according to the letter, Knar Manoukyan asked deputy Arthur Hovhannisyan «libelous and insulting questions».
