"There is no field for free journalists to express themselves. Freedom
of speech has not come to Armenia yet for objective reasons," President
of Yerevan Press Club Boris Navasardyan said at a press conference
on the occasion of World Day Freedom of Press.

In his words journalists in Armenia will be subjected to violation
in the future too, as not only journalists’, but also citizens’
rights are not protected.

On the other hand, according to Navasardyan it will mean "we are
losing the specialty of journalist as such," should journalists be
not subjected to violation under these circumstances.

According Committee to Protect Journalists 70 journalist were killed
across the world in 2009 while doings their professional duties.
