Additional information:

On the Day of the Armed Forces of Armenia, when the members of the Government visited military pantheon Yerablur in Yerevan, the correspondent of the news website Aravot.am Hripsime Jebejyan addressed Deputy Prime Minister Mher Grigoryan with a question regarding expensive official cars, insinuating that such expenses are disproportionate to the state of the country. Under the video material posted on the abovementioned website and Facebook, a huge number of users insulted the journalist with foul language and threatened her with death in their comments. According to Jebejyan’s statement, it looked like an organised action, as almost everyone was using similar words.
