    Armenian media situation improved, but more diversity needed, OSCE
    media watchdog says in new report



    VIENNA, 26 July 2006 - Armenia has made significant progress in
    improving media legislation, but media pluralism remains limited to
    the independent, but financially weak, print media, OSCE
    Representative on Freedom of the Media Miklos Haraszti said in a
    report released today.

    Haraszti prepared the report following an assessment visit to Yerevan
    between 19 and 21 July.

    "In order for Armenia to continue the process of media
    democratization, the broadcasting sector needs to reflect diversity
    of opinion, and the composition of all boards should represent the
    political and social diversity of the country," Haraszti said.
    "Although Armenia has a good set of laws and has adopted a
    progressive Freedom of Information Law, their proper implementation
    should be ensured."

    The report also offers detailed recommendations to further promote
    free and pluralistic media.

    Armenian and Russian translations will follow shortly.
