OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media Miklos Haraszti is in
Yerevan on a visit. Having spent several days in Armenia, he collected
first-hand information about the state of media in our country. He
noted that the OSCE has registered progress in the information field
of Armenian in the recent years.
However, the organization will issue the official report in mid-July.
Miklos Haraszti assures that the report will not be based only on
the information gained from the meetings. OSCE members periodically
observe the information field of Armenia, they read, listen and
watch Armenian news programs. " Armenia has registered considerable
progress in improving the legislation on mass media. We should note,
however, that the diversity of opinion of the mass media is somewhat
restricted," he said.
According to the OSCE Representative on the Freedom of Media, the
diversity of opinions is observed in the print media, the same cannot
be said about more powerful media like television. In his opinion it
is important that the State Television has been replaced by a Public
one. The OSCE has registered also that in the recent years the number
of violations against journalists has decreased.
