The fact that Armenia has moved 10 points upward in the Press Freedom Index by the Reporters Without Borders (RWB) organization is evidence of the reforms implemented by the Armenian authorities, Razmik Zohrabyan, Vice-Chairman of the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA), told NEWS.am.

Ensuring freedom of speech requires specific steps rather than show-rallies, he said.

Armenia is ranked 101st (out of 178 states) in the 2010 Press Freedom Index list issued by the Reporters Without Borders organization. In 2009 Armenia ranked 111th.
