    EXPERT: ARMENIAN, BELARUSIAN JOURNALISTS SHOULD INCREASE COOPERATION

    MOGILEV, 28 November (BelTA) - Belarusian and Armenian journalists need
    to establish closer ties, famous Armenian blogger and information
    security expert Tigran Kocharyan told BelTA during the Second
    Belarus-Russia Forum of Young Journalists.

    "I am happy to take part in the forum of young journalists. I
    was curious to know more about mass media in Belarus, Russia and
    Kazakhstan and I wanted to share best practices used in Armenia. One
    of the objectives of my visit is to establish direct contacts with
    Belarusian partners and to understand what we can do for each other,"
    Tigran Kocharyan said.

    He emphasized that Belarus and Armenia have many things in common:
    "We split a little bit 20 years ago; everyone was busy with their own
    things. However we have a common history, we fought hand in hand for
    our freedom. Many Belarusians live in Armenia and a lot of Armenians
    live and work in the interests of Belarus; therefore, we should not
    lose contacts. One of my suggestions is to arrange media tours for
    Belarusian journalists to Armenia and Armenian journalists to Belarus.

    Otherwise, others might take advantage of the things we take for
    granted and they might shape the wrong opinion of our countries".

    Tigran Kocharyan noted that Belarusian media space is interesting
    and a bit unusual for Armenia. "It was a pleasant surprise that
    printed press is very popular here, which is not the case in Armenia,
    unfortunately. Newspapers are not so much popular in Armenia and are
    placed fourth after television, Internet and radio," the expert said.

    More than 150 participants gathered in Mogilev for the Belarus-Russia
    Forum of Young Journalists "Common vision for the future" on 26-28
    November. The Belarusian-Russian Forum of Young Journalists is designed
    to enhance the qualifications and skills of media representatives,
    to promote international communication, and to develop the media
    community of Belarus and Russia. The event was organized by the
    Information Ministry of Belarus, the Union State Permanent Committee,
    Belarusian Union of Journalists, the BRSM Youth Union, Mogilev Oblast
    Executive Committee, and with the support of the Foreign Ministry of
    Belarus and the Belarusian Embassy in Russia.
