On June 14, Anna Hakobyan, Chairwoman of the Board of Trustees of “My Step” and “City of Smile” received AMAA Executive Director/CEO Zaven Khanjian, his wife Sona Khanjian, and AMAA Armenia Representative Harout Nercessian.
During the meeting Mr. Khanjian spoke about his recent meetings in Armenia and his impressions of these meetings.
The group touched upon the role of the media and the fight against counterfeiting. In that context, Mr. Nercessian stressed that after the Velvet Revolution media activity in Armenia has changed. “The media has become freer covering any events and issues,” he said.
“I spend more time in the “Haykakan Zhamanak” newspaper, and journalism professionalism is of great importance to me,” said Ms. Hakobyan. “It is extremely important that the media provide comprehensive information, regardless of who owns that media. The role of free press is also very important as it is conditioned by the democracy and development of the state.”
During the meeting they also discussed the activities of “My Step” and “City of Smiles” and the possibility of cooperation within the framework of the Fund’s programs.  (annahakobyan.am)
