the Yerevan Press Club 2006.
As Boris Navasardian, President of the Yerevan Press Club mentioned
during the July 18 award giving ceremony, the results of the annual
competition show that the professional level of the journalists
raised during the last 15 years. At the same time he mentioned that
the split of the juornalist field, adherence of the journalists to
different political camps and the implementation of orders are among
the serious problems of journalism.
Touching upon the facts of violences and pursuits towards the
journalists, B.Navasardian said that they decreased during the last
years as, in his words, "the journalists themselves did not provide
occasions to pursuit them." However, the President of the Yerevan
Press Club did not exclude that such facts would be registered during
the coming elections.
