/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Robert Attechyan of Istanbul-based Marmara newspaper
and Hakob Avetikyan, editor-in-chief of Azg newspaper, Yerevan, were
honored with Golden Pen award during a ceremony held in the Union of
Journalists of Armenia.
"There were many candidates but the best were awarded," said Rafik
Hovhannisyan, Deputy Culture Minister of Armenia. "Some complain that
young journalists are not awarded but the point is that Golden Pen
is an academic award. It's given to mature journalists."
As an alternative, Hakob Avetikyan jestingly offered to honor young
journalists with silver of bronze pens.
