YEREVAN, MAY 22, ARMENPRESS: The studies made by international
specialists in Armenia show that we have serious issues with contacting
with mass media and negative traditions. Armenian Prime Minister
Tigran Sargsian said today at the government's session that for
improving the quality of work of mass media with state bodies, it is
necessary to have the suggestions and remarks of the representatives
of the mass media.
He called on the latter to present their approaches over the issue. The
prime minister said that for increasing the efficiency of the work with
mass media the experience of the European countries has been studied
and technical support will be provided by the European partners. By
this, it is aimed to apply rules of ethics in the work of mass media
and give legislative regulation to the work of mass media.
Tigran Sargsian said that if a journalist does not get an answer from
the minister to his/her question, he/she states that the ministry is
not working transparently, but that, the prime minister said, does
not have any connection with the transparent or not transparent work
of the ministry. Such negative traditions, according to the prime
minister, promote the creation of yellow press as a result of which
serious media is dropping out of the attention.
He said the creation of new concept which will regulate the sphere will
promote the process of curing the moral and psychological atmosphere
in the country.
Tigran Sargsian said that heads of ministries and media services must
also participate in the creation of the concept.
