    5TH PAN-ARMENIAN FORUM OF JOURNALISTS AND MASS MEDIA OPENS IN STEPANAKERT

    OCTOBER 13, 2010
    STEPANAKERT

    On the initiative of the RA Diaspora Ministry the "Challenges of
    the 21st Century: Information Security and Armenian Journalism"
    5th Pan-Armenian forum of journalists and mass media opened in
    Stepanakert with the participation of representatives of 200 Armenian
    mass media from Armenia and Diaspora. Before the ceremonial opening
    of the conference first the participants headed by Diaspora Minister
    Hranush Hakobyan visited Stepanakert memorial complex, put wreath and
    flowers on the memorial stone commemorating the freedom fighters who
    passed away at the Artsakh liberation war.

    The NKR President Bako Sahakyan, Primate of the Artsakh Diocese of
    the Armenian Apostolic Church Archbishop Pargev Martirosyan honored
    the conference with their presence.

    Diaspora Minister Hranush Hakobyan, welcoming the present,
    expressed gratitude to the representative of all mass media for their
    participation and expressed hope that the issues and problems involved
    within the circle of conference will be thoroughly discussed by them
    and which is most important will promote their implementation. "I am
    sure that we will get new impetus from this land and celebrate new
    victories in the information wars," Hranush Hakobyan said. She also
    informed that for the first time the works of the conference will be
    presented in an on-line regime.

    In his speech Bako Sahakyan described the conduction of the conference
    in Artsakh as an important step, noting that especially in Karabakh
    issue a special approach is necessary as the Azerbaijani propaganda
    machine is implementing policy of lies in that direction. With that
    aim he considered it important creation of joint information front.

    Primate of the Artsakh Diocese of the Armenian Apostolic Church
    Archbishop Pargev Martirosyan recited the message of His Holiness
    Catholicos of All Armenians. The Archbishop on his turn welcomed the
    participants and noted that truth and lie are permanently fighting
    in the world and it is the issue of the Armenian reporters to fight
    for victory of the truth. "During the Artsakh war when our soldiers
    were going to war, they crossed themselves and were giving the name
    of God and very often it helped them. You too act in this way and
    you will get convinced that it becomes more easier to overcome the
    impediments," the Archbishop said.

    Diaspora Minister Hranush Hakobyan came forth with an extended speech.

    The opening ceremony was wrapped up with the report of the chief editor
    of "Azg" daily Hakob Avetikyan on "Challenges of the 21st Century:
    Information Security and Armenian Journalism".

    Executive director of "Armenpress" news agency Hrayr Zoryan is also
    participating in the event.
