Freedom House's press freedom rankings indicate that not a single
country has fully free press, EU Enlargement Commissioner Stefan Fule
said in Brussels addressing the seminar for journalists.
The seminar took place in Brussels on June 6-7 for representatives of
journalists from Russia and the Eastern Partnership states. Armenia
was represented by seven reporters, including one from Armenian
News-NEWS.am.
Among "not free" countries in terms of press freedom, Fule pointed
out Azerbaijan, Armenia, Belarus and Russia giving rather negative
assessment.
Fule stressed that Eurovision held in Azerbaijan was a good opportunity
for the government to show freedom in the country as for several days
Azerbaijan was the focus of Europe's attention. However, the European
official said the country failed to use the chance.
He said the EU-drafted budget will help the states to improve press
freedom and level of democracy.
