What happenedA press report citing government sources said Armenia and Azerbaijan settled on a 'village relocation' option for enclaves, while Pashinyan had said there is no final decision yet.

Խաբելու նոր սցենարներ են մտածում․ «Հրապարակ»

«Հրապարակ» թերթը գրում է. Չնայած Նիկոլ Փաշինյանը անկլավ-էքսկլավների լուծման մի քանի խուճուճ տարբերակ է ներկայացրել, որոնցից մեկով ժամանակին ասում էր` հնարավոր… The post Խաբելու նոր …

Loaded wordFavours the opposition Reprints Hraparak's headline saying 'new scenarios of deception' are being devised and its opening calling Pashinyan's enclave options 'convoluted'; the summary treats the claim as a press report citing sources.

What happenedGagik Vanoyan dismissed as head of State Protocol Service

Փաշինյանը Ղազախստանն ու Ղրղզստանը շփոթել է և ազատել արարողակարգի պետին․ «Ժողովուրդ»

Negative framingFavours the opposition Citing Zhoghovurd, the headline says Pashinyan 'confused Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan' and then dismissed the protocol chief, giving a reason the summary says was not made public.

Original

What happenedHayastan faction MP Mesrop Manukyan accused Civil Contract MPs in parliament of looting state budget funds during the debate on ratifying the COP17 agreement.

Բողոքում են՝ ինչի՞ եք բողոքում, թե թանկ եք առել։ Քպ-ականնե՛ր, դուք թալանով եք զբաղվում, և «թալանչիի» պիտակը ստվերի պես հետևելու է ձեզ

Loaded wordFavours the opposition The headline reproduces Mesrop Manukyan's accusation that Civil Contract members are 'engaged in looting' and that the 'looter' label will follow them, without naming him in the headline; the opening ends with his name, while Politik.am and Panorama attribute the words in their headlines.
