Armenia has suspended the broadcasting of Russian Sputnik station for 30 days due to offensive comments made by a presenter about Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan. The suspension was imposed by Armenia's radio regulator, following the remarks by Russian propagandist Tigran Keosayan suggesting that Pashinyan should be killed for 'betraying' the nation. Russia's embassy in Yerevan denounced the suspension, labeling the comments as 'offensive.'
