On March 2 the joint action of leading Armenian media and journalistic associations continued. The action is targeted against the draft law “On Mass Communication” developed by the RA Ministry of Justice and approved by the Government (see YPC Weekly Newsletter, January 26 – February 1, 2002, and February 2-8, 2002).
The appeal “No to Censorship! Remove from Circulation the Draft Law ‘On Mass Communication’!” remained on the pages of newspapers, the web sites of media and a number of professional associations (see YPC Weekly Newsletter, February 23 – March 1, 2002), and also appeared in the newspapers “Golos Armenii” and “Hayastani Hanrapetutyun”.
