Armenia has gone three spots up and is ranked 74th in 2013 World
Press Freedom Index published by Reporters Without Borders.
In the report Armenia is grouped with Moldova (55), Kyrgyzstan (106)
and Georgia (100).
"These countries enjoy broad media pluralism and a low level of state
censorship, but they still face important challenges concerning media
independence and the working environment of jounrlists. The latter
are often in the firing line in highly polarized societies and treated
as easy prey by a variety of pressure groups," the report says.
The report suggests Armenia has the best press freedom index in the
region, while Azerbaijan ranks 156th, Turkey - 154th and Iran - 174th.
Finland has distinguished itself as the country that most respects
media freedom. It is followed by the Netherlands and Norway.
