Lurer.com not accredited because of “Harsnakar”?

Lurer.com had applied to FFA in accordance with the established procedure, as other mass media, for accreditation to illustrate the Armenia-Italy match of the qualifying round of Football World Cup 2014. FFA representatives had said, that they’d reply 2 days before the game.

Today, on October 10, FFA informed Lurer.com that our reporters won’t be accredited, claiming that the accreditation process is carried on priority basis. We hope that FFA’s refusal of accreditation has nothing to do with the fact, that Lurer.com has objectively and operatively illustrated “Harsnakar” incident and all the activities connected with it.

Note, that “Harsnakar” restaurant complex, where the tragic incident occurred, belongs to FFA chairman Ruben Hayrapetyan’s family.

P.S. Note also that TV reporter Petros Ghazaryan had written on his Facebook page:

"Today FFA refused accreditation to Kentron TV channel, for Armenia-Italy match. In response to our request to explain, FFA replied “We want so”.
