    The Council of Europe and the European Union have launched a joint
    project of Promoting Freedom, Professionalism and Pluralism of the
    Media in the South Caucasus and Moldova. The two-year program is
    implemented by the Council of Europe and is financed by the European
    Union.

    The program aims to support the traditional and new media in Armenia,
    Azerbaijan, Georgia and Moldova, development of legal and institutional
    guarantees corresponding to Council of Europe standards, contribute
    to the improvement of the quality of journalism and ensure media
    pluralism.

    Different courses, discussions and conferences will be organized
    within the framework of the program, representatives of the two
    European structures told reporters today.

    According to Laila Dervisagic, Adviser to CoE Department for
    Cooperation, positive moves are apparent in the Armenian media field,
    but there are problems, as well. Experts of the European Union and
    the Council of Europe will try to help solve those problems.

    According to her, it's first of all necessary to improve media-related
    legislation. Bringing the norms of freedom of expression and media
    activity close to Europeans standards is one of the main objectives
    of the program.

    Representative of the EU delegation to Armenia, Jean-Christophe Gayrand
    says there is need for more plurality in Armenian media and they will
    be try to achieve it within the framework of the program.
