YEREVAN, DECEMBER 26, NOYAN TAPAN. "The year of 2006 did not
become a year of progress for the Armenian mass media. It's a pity,
tendencies of split of our journalist's brotherhood deepened, demands
of journalists' professional duty withdrew under the pressure of the
day's instructions." The National Press Club estimates in this way the
passing year in its New Year address, congratulating its partners upon
the New Year and Christmas and wishing them solidarity, impartiality
and succession, deliverance from different censors, creative rise,
year of freedom and justice. It is also mentioned in the address:
"The coming year of 2007 will be more complicated and difficult for
media representatives. The propaganda of the parliamentary elections,
already started non-officially, shows that it will not be free and
just. In this case, it depends on us, journalists, at what extent the
freedom of expression and the right of society to be awared will be
protected. The future of democracy in Armenia is in our hands. Doing
one's professional duty must be beyond everything."
