"The Time for Freedom of Press" award became Edik Baghdasarian, the Head of

development of investigative journalism, independent stance and professional
courage. Edik Baghdasarian received a certificate and the traditional gift -
a watch.
WORLD PRESS FREEDOM DAY 2011 ADDRESSED THE 21ST CENTURY MEDIA FRONTIERS
On May 3 the World Press Freedom Day was celebrated worldwide. 2011 marks
the 20th anniversary since the adoption of the Declaration of Windhoek in
1991, which became the basis for proclaiming the international journalists
day by the UN General Assembly in 1993. In Armenia this event is being
marked since 1997.
"21st Century Media: New Frontiers, New Barriers" is the theme of World
Press Freedom Day 2011. The theme "highlights this dramatically changed
global media landscape": "new media and tools such as cell phones continue
to empower individuals, enrich news-gathering and illuminate
once-largely-hidden workings of government, business and industry", the
message of Ban Ki-moon, UN Secretary-General stated. Alongside these
benefits, UN Secretary-General reminded about the old challenges "such as
the use of media to disseminate hatred and incite violence". "There are also
undeniable new barriers being imposed by States, including
cyber-surveillance, digital harassment and censorship on the Internet", the
message noted.
The joint message for 2011 from UN Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, Navi
Pillay, UN High Commissioner for Human Rights, and Irina Bokova, UNESCO
Director-General, stressed that United Nations is dedicated to ensuring that
the Internet becomes a truly global public resource, to which all have
access and where all voices are heard: "This underlines the importance of
quality content. This calls for action to defend the integrity and safety of
online reporters. All principles of freedom of expression must be brought to
the on-line world."
"Journalists must be protected. Over the last decade, more than 500
journalists lost their lives in the pursuit of their profession. (...) Every
week brings more reports of journalists and bloggers suffering from
intimidation and violence. Violations of fundamental human rights cannot go
unanswered. State authorities must do everything to counter impunity and to
protect the safety of journalists. (...)The media revolution is triggering
new debates about freedom of expression, about the nature of regulation,
about the balance between expression and responsibility. We must not shy
away from exploring all angles of these questions. We must all rise to the
occasion and accept the responsibility of change," called the UN
representatives.
On May 3 in Istanbul at Freedom for Journalists Congress Dunja Mijatovic,
OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media, urged all OSCE participating
States to do more to curb violence against journalists and ensure a safe
work environment for the media. "Today, as the world honors the free press
that on a daily basis helps us to improve our democracies and pursue our
development goals, I call on all OSCE states to take broad measures to
ensure the most favorable and safe environment for their media. Murders,
violent attacks, intimidation of journalists and their family members,
various forms of harassment and criminalization of speech thwart the work of
free media serving their audiences", emphasized Dunja Mijatovic.
THE DECISION ON THE SUIT OF ROBERT KOCHARIAN'S FAMILY VERSUS "ZHAMANAK"
FOUNDER WAS NOT RELEASED. THE COURT TAKES A TIME-OUT
On May 5 the court of general jurisdiction of Kentron and Nork-Marash
administrative districts of Yerevan was to release the decision on the suit
of the spouse and the son of the Second President of Armenia Robert
Kocharian, Bella and Sedrak Kocharians, versus "Skizb Media Kentron" LLC,
founder and publisher of "Zhamanak" daily. As it has been reported, the
reason of the suit became the pieces published in "Zhamanak" on September
25, September 29 and October 7, 2010. The articles dealt with a number of
companies, which were reportedly owned by the Kocharians' family or managed
through the third parties. The representative of Kocharians' family had sent
a letter to the daily's founder, demanding to come up with a refutation. On
October 28, 2010 "Zhamanak" published a piece, "Kocharian's Heart Desires a
Refutation". Considering that the piece cannot be a refutation, as it still
contained discrediting information, the plaintiffs filed the court,
demanding to bind "Zhamanak" to refute the information damaging the honor,
dignity and business reputation of Bella and Sedrak Kocharians, exact 3
million AMD (about $ 8,200) from the defendant as compensation for libel and
defamation, as well as pay off the court expenses of 3 million AMD. The
court hearing started on February 25, 2011, where the founder of "Zhamanak"
suggested that the plaintiffs develop the text of the refutation. The
refutation appeared in "Zhamanak" on March 10, 2011 but was attended by an
editorial comment. This form of presentation did not satisfy the plaintiffs,
and the parties did not come to an agreement. At the session of March 23 the
plaintiffs submitted documents as a ground for their demands on compensating
the moral damage and the court expenses (see YPC Weekly Newsletter, March
18-24, 2011).
The hearings on the case finished on April 20. It was announced that the
court decision would be released on May 5. Meanwhile, this did not happen on
the appointed date. The parties were informed that the court will start a
new consideration of the case due to the necessity of additional examination
of facts. Even though such an outcome is authorized by law, it remains
unclear, why the court required an additional time after about three months
of litigation?
The next session is appointed on May 20.
COUNCIL ON INFORMATION DISPUTES ESTABLISHED
On April 30 - May 1 in Tsaghkadzor the Media Freedom Forum was held. The
event was organized by RA Human Rights Defender's Office with support of
European Union. The Forum was attended by representatives of international
organizations, embassies, accredited in Armenia, media, NGO, journalistic
associations and international experts.
The main themes of the Forum were the amendments' draft to the RA Law "On
Television and Radio", developed by the working group on reforming the
legislation regulating the digitalization process in Armenia; journalistic
ethics and legislation on defamation.
At the event it was announced about the establishment of the Council on
Information Disputes. The Council seeks to protect freedom of expression,
access to information, human dignity and right to private life. The missions
of the newly-established structure list preparation and release of advisory
expert conclusions on court litigations regarding libel and defamation,
protection of private life and freedom of information, as well as providing
consultations to the Armenian legislative and executive authorities, local
self-government bodies and citizens. The members of the Council are:
Secretary - Shushan Doydoyan, Head of Freedom of Information Center; Boris
Navasardian, President of Yerevan Press Club; Aram Abrahamian, Chief Editor
of "Aravot" daily; Ara Ghazarian, Deputy Director of "Arni Consult" law
firm; Manana Aslamazian, Director of "Alternative Resources in Media"
project.
ARMENIAN MEDIA IS STILL NOT FREE
On May 2 the international human rights organization "Freedom House"
released its annual report on freedom of press in the world in 2010.
"Freedom House" assessed the media situation by assigning a numerical score
from 1 to 100 on the following categories: free (1-30 points), partly free
(31-60 points), not free (61-100) - the lower the score, the higher the
freedom. The latter was defined by three dimensions: legal, political and
economic environments in which media operate. The sum of all three
dimensions yielded the cumulative rating of the media situation in each
country.
Out of 196 countries and territories surveyed in 2010 in 68 (or 35%) media
were recognized free, in 65 (or 33%) - partly free and in 63 (or 32%) were
rated not free. Thus, only 15% of world inhabitants (lowest index for the
last decade) live in countries that enjoy free press, 42% have a partly free
press, and 43% - not free press. The most benign is the situation in Finland
(10 points), Norway and Sweden (11 points each), Belgium, Iceland and
Luxembourg (12 points each).
Of the post-Soviet countries only the press of the three Baltic States is
recognized by "Freedom House" to be free (Estonia -18, Lithuania - 22,
Latvia - 26). Only Georgia, Moldova (55 points each) and Ukraine (56 points)
are classed as partly free. At the same time, the situation in Georgia has
somewhat improved, while it has deteriorated in Ukraine, comparing with 2009
(59 and 53 points, respectively). The positive trends of the Georgian media
landscape are due to an improved political environment that led to a
reduction in legal and physical harassment of journalists, fewer instances
of official censorship, and more balanced coverage by the public
broadcaster. The broadcast frequencies withdrawal from critical media,
increase of extralegal harassment of journalists, leading to greater
self-censorship, negatively influenced the media freedom in Ukraine. A
10-point leap of the Moldavian media (65 points in 2009) from not free to
partly free is due to new ruling coalition's steps to increase legal
protections for journalists' rights and reform the regulatory framework, to
the professionalization of the management at the state broadcaster,
emergence of new private broadcasters and a substantial decline of
officially sanctioned legal harassment of journalists.
Other former USSR countries' media continue to stay not free. Turkmenistan
(96) remains the second from the end (North Korea still closes the list -
97). As compared to 2009, the rankings of Tajikistan (78), Azerbaijan (79)
and Russia (81) have not changed. The situation has somewhat deteriorated in
Kazakhstan - 80 (versus 78 in 2009), Belarus - 93 (versus 92) and Uzbekistan
- 94 (versus 92). A progress is marked in Kyrgyzstan - 70 (versus 73).
The ranking of Armenian media, which got 65 points (versus 66 in 2009),
increased by 1 point. In other words, the Armenian media are considered by
"Freedom House" as not free for already nine years (since 2002).

Press Club is required.
