A number of representatives of Diaspora Armenian media have arrived
in Yerevan to participate in the 6th Pan-Armenian Forum of Journalists.
Today they shared their impressions from the results of the "Ahead
of the 100th anniversary of the Armenian genocide" forum, assessing
the event as generally productive and useful.
Editor-in-chief of the Lebanon-based Aztag daily Shahan Kandaharyan is
satisfied with the results of the discussions. During the conference
reference was made to the situation in Syria, and the problems
Syrian Armenians face. "This is our painful wound," editor of the
Lebanon-based "Khosnak" newspaper Hambik Martirosyan said.
Representative of Lebanon's "Sevan Radio" program Vera Siseryan noted
that "such forums are really important and necessary although the
Armenian society does not take them seriously."
To what extent does the Armenian press in Diaspora follow the internal
political developments in Armenia? "We are trying our best to refer to
everything the Armenian press covers. We face the issue of maintaining
the balance, presenting the reality so as not to cause disappointment
in the Diaspora. I cannot say, however, that we have found the solution
to that issue," Vera Siseryan said.
Hambik Martirosyan underlined that the Diaspora is rather sensitive
to the events in Armenia, and the biased information often causes
just pain and nothing else.
