On April 18 in Yerevan, near the former representative office of Nagorno-Karabakh in Armenia, activists holding a protest confronted journalists covering the event, obstructing their work and demanding they leave the area, calling them "provocateurs." One of the activists, Artur Osipyan, responded to a question from Lia Sargsyan, a correspondent for the Hraparak daily newspaper, by declaring that Hraparak is a "dirty publication" that "spreads filth," and demanded that she leave.
