“Dear mass media representatives,
I congratulate you on the occasion of the Armenian Press
Day.
Armenian Press Day is another opportunity to talk about
the complex and responsible work of the media community, to emphasize the
importance of your work.
The work of the Armenian press should be free and
protected.
In the direction of guaranteeing the freedom of the
press, it is crucial to undertake measures that will ensure the existence of a
completely favorable environment for regular news activities and the safety of
journalists.
As the Human Rights Defender, I am ready to do my best
within the scope of my mandate to protect your free and unhindered activities.
I also attach an importance to the cooperation between the staff of the Human
Rights Defender and the media aimed at ensuring proper coverage of sensitive
topics related to the most vulnerable groups of society.
Extending my sincere congratulations on the occasion of
this professional milestone, I wish you success in your work, freedom in your
activities and accomplished fulfillment of your significant mission.
