Reporters in Armenia Can't Expect Any Assistance From Law Enforcement

15:17, August 28, 2012

Elections are the litmus test for democracy in Armenia.

2012 is an election year and the authorities have promised democratic elections; something that has never happened.

No one really expects this to happen. Everyone knows that elections give rise to increased incidents of violence and restrictions placed on reporters doing their jobs.

It must be noted that certain progress has been registered in comparison to the previous national election. In 2012, seven cases of reporters being hindered from doing their job were reported.

This favorably compares to 18 cases in 2008 during the presidential election. During the 2009 parliamentary elections, 11 such cases were reported.
