3rd media forum ‘At the Foot of Ararat’ held in Armenia

The 3rd media forum entitled ‘At the Foot of Ararat’ began in Armenia. Among the participants are representatives of Armenian, Russian and European mass media outlets.

In the words of Head of the Information and PR Center of the Presidential Staff Ara Saghatelian, the forum aims to make Armenia more recognizable and understandable to the world. “Our purpose is to present Armenia not only as a bearer of cultural and historical values, but also as a sovereign country that has its own programs and constantly develops,” he noted.

He said the two previous forums were successful, but the format of the current one has been extended. According to A. Saghatelian, the reporters who attended the previous forums have published articles about Armenia in their media outlets, ensuring audiences of millions. “Thus they shape a particular attitude towards present-day Armenia and its residents,” Saghatelian said.

Chairman of the Council of Media Congress of Journalists of Europe and Asia Ashot Jazoyan said for his part that unlike the previous events, this forum brought together about 40 reporters from Ukraine, Spain, France, Moldova, and Russia.
