House report
16:19 ¢ 02.05.14
On the threshold of World Press Freedom Day marked on May 3, the Media
Center has hosted a debate on the latest press freedom index,
published by the international human rights watchdog Freedom House,
which rated the Armenian media "Not Free", recording a slight setback
in the country compared to last year.
Ashot Melikyan, Chairman of the Committee to protect Freedom of
Speech, said that it is a good occasion to discuss the current
problems.
`Numerous cases of journalists' activities being impeded, as well as
violence, were reported during the elections,' he said.
Journalists overcame the difficulties, which, however, does not mean
we have no problems, and the report is actually mildly put.
