Media

The Civilitas Media Program will produce content for newspapers and television, in Armenian and English, for Armenia and the Diaspora to begin to eliminate the current social, political, economic and cultural information gap. By producing and providing content, and introducing a new kind of open, objective, responsible public discourse, we will strengthen media and make it relevant to people's lives. Reliable media are essential to have a just and egalitarian environment and a balanced, informed, tolerant, engaged society.

Opinions were mostly divided. Of those who answered the question, 53% thought that such elections could bring positive change to the country; 43% thought they could not. Around 4% did not have an answer.
