The United Nations Office in Armenia in cooperation with Yerevan Press Club
has announced a media award for print and electronic journalists.
The contest is arranged in the framework of the UN 60th Anniversary and the
World Summit which will take place in September in New York. It will consider
the achievements towards the implementation of the Millennium Developments Goals
