Mass media that don’t recognize the occupation and annexation as legitimate actions shouldn’t work on the peninsula. KrymInform news agency reports that so called Crimean prime-minister Sergey Aksenov said about that at the press-conference in Simferopol.
“My attitude to the oppositional mass media is such: it is necessary to discuss any opinion but to my mind, those, who don’t recognize the Russian statehood and our president as well as those, who offer hope that Crimea will become a part of Ukraine again, are the hostile media, in other words, they shouldn’t work on the peninsula in one way or other,” Aksenov said.
At the same time, Aksenov allowed the oppositional mass media to work. However, the “prime-minister” didn’t say what this oppositional activity would mean.
As a reminder, it was reported earlier that only 40 from 3 thousand Crimean mass media became the Russian ones.
On October 23, so called Crimean Federal District became the most open district for the mass media according to the September rating of the National Monitoring Service.
On October 22, it was planned to create the “Center of information and social technologies for the international communication development in the Republic of Crimea” designed to “reveal” facts of ethnic conflicts and deal with their effects according to the methodical instructions of the Ministry of Regional Development and Construction.
Also in early October, the “Council of Ministers” promised to apply sanctions to the media, actions of which will be considered as provocative ones, in Crimea.
