On January 31 on the evening air of the Second Armenian TV Channel the tenth,
jubilee program of “Press Club” cycle was issued. The cycle is organized by
Yerevan Press Club under a homonymous project, supported by the OSI Network
Media Program.
The subject for the discussion by heads and representatives of the leading
Armenian media was the press response to Resolution 1416 (2005) of the Parliamentary
Assembly of the Council of Europe “Conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh dealt with
by the OSCE Minsk Conference”. The document was adopted at the PACE session
of January 25 basing on the report on Mountainous Karabagh, prepared by PACE
rapporteur David Atkinson. As the program participants predicted, Karabagh conflict
will remain at the focus of Armenian media attention this week, too, particularly
in the context of the visit of international fact-finding mission to the territories,
controlled by Armenian forces. The two other central subjects for media, as
the “Press Club” participants supposed, can be the possible return of opposition
factions to the Parliament as well as the circumstances of arrest of an Armenian
MP in United Arab Emirates.
