Journalism is considered a risky profession in Iran, and the journalist
with a time record of twenty years receives a pension, simultaneously
keeping right to continue the professional activity. Another important
fact is that in Iran the government insures journalists.
Armenian journalists who participated in an international festival
in Tehran attach importance to the above-mentioned facts and consider
that Armenia should follow Iran's example.
Participants of the festival say the Armenian pavilion was the most
crowded, yielding only to the United States and Indonesia.
Political commentator of "Hayastani Hanrapetutyun" newspaper Emma
Begijanyan considers that this was a good opportunity for Armenia to
present itself to the neighbor states. The representatives of Armenia
had an opportunity to get acquainted with the press of the neighbor
country and communicate with foreign journalists.
According to Armenian delegates, the only shortcoming was that Armenia
was not fully prepared for the festival and the reason was the lack
of government support.
