    DEPENDENCE OBVIOUS

    The freedom of speech in Armenia is guaranteed by the Constitution.
    "Everyone is entitled to freedom of speech", Article 24 of the
    Constitution says.

    Is press free in Armenia? We addressed 100 citizens with this question
    June 4-9.

    "Press in not free either in Armenia or any other country", one of
    the respondents said. 52% agreed with this opinion. "Is Armenia a
    free state? No. Thus press can't be free either. When we become
    an economically independent state our press will be independent of
    authorities and oligarchs", a man said. 28% of those surveyed consider
    that press in partly free. "There are several opposition newspapers and
    television sometimes raises urgent issues", one of them said. Only 2 %
    said press is free in Armenia.

    18% found difficulty in answering. To remind, according the annual
    report by Freedom House international organization press in Armenia
    was rated as not free.
