May 3 is marked as World Press Freedom Day. The topic brought together
specialists and experts of the field, who discussed the problems of
the sphere and the situation in Armenia.

The Freedom House independent, international watchdog organization,
published Thursday the annual report on Freedom of the Press 2010:
A Global Survey of Media Independence. Although Armenia has advanced
two positions, it still ranks among not free states.

Head of the Freedom of Information Center of Armenia NGO Shushan
Doydoyan considers that the solving of problems in the court is the
best way to avoid persecution.

Editor-in-chief of the "Aravot" daily says applying to court is not
always the best option for journalists.

President of the Yerevan Press Club Boris Navasarydyan considers that
the time for the freedom of the press has not yet come to Armenia.
