    HEADS OF CIS NEWS AGENCIES VISIT YSU

    ARMENPRESS
    DECEMBER 16, 2010
    YEREVAN

    YEREVAN, DECEMBER 16, ARMENPRESS: The CIS state news agencies' heads,
    who are on a visit to Yerevan within the framework of the 12th session
    of the Information Council of the CIS States, visited today Yerevan
    State University and met with Aram Simonyan, rector of YSU, and staff
    of YSU lecturers and professors.

    Aram Simonyan presented the activities of the university and spoke
    about the path the university passed and its future plans. He
    underscored that the interest of YSU's students in international
    projects is increasing year by year and the scope of YSU's cooperation
    with foreign universities is being extended gradually. Afterwards,
    the heads of the CIS state news agencies met with students of YSU
    faculty of journalism.

    They presented the main functions and goals of the CIS Information
    Council and the principles of the activity of their news agencies. In
    answer to the question by one of the students about the news agencies'
    standards for granting job to young and inexperienced journalists,
    Mikhail Kalmikov, first deputy head of ITAR-TASS news agency of
    Russia, said he emphasizes two features - love towards literature
    and sports. 'The journalist must have Á copious vocabulary, which
    can be enriched due to reading as much as possible. Have a passion
    for sports: it will increase your desire for victory.

    It is due to efficiency that a news agency must win in the struggle
    against time, isn't it?' he stated. Mikhail Soroka, director of
    'Ukrinform', added that he thinks not age, but the ability to write
    properly is the most important thing when granting a job. As to the
    issue of competition in the modern world, Vladimir Darie, chief
    executive of 'MoldPress', said the product of news agencies will
    remain reliable and demanded in any period.

    Hrayr Zoryan, chief executive director of Armenpress, presented the
    'Armenpress-90' state-funded book on the history of the Armenian State
    News Agency (since 1918). Mikhail Kalmikov expressed gratitude on
    behalf of his counterparts for 'the three wonderful days in Armenia'.

    The guests also attended the YSU Museum and got acquainted with the
    exhibits, presenting the history of the university.
