ArmInfo.There are a number of significant problems in the information field of Armenia, which can be finally resolved only by legislative means. This was announced on June 12 during a joint meeting of the standing parliamentary committees during the discussion of the report on the implementation of the state budget for 2019, said the Chief of the Prime Minister's Staff Eduard Aghajanyan.
Aghajanyan said that, as a rule, the information awareness body will identify and resolve various issues in this area, including, for example, problems related to fakes. <However, this agency works in a rather relaxed mode. I think that, for example, disinformation in social networks cannot be completely eradicated, but we intend to at least lower its level>, he stressed.
The Prime Minister's chief of staff also stated that he had recently talked about the issue of media disinformation with the Minister of Justice Rustam Badasyan. <I proposed introducing a law into circulation that will regulate this area. It will be discussed in the National Assembly. We think that it is possible to solve the problem with fake news only by legislative means>, Agadzhanyan said. The latter also noted the importance of the center ''Infocheck.am''. This center is engaged in checking information for accuracy. I believe that our citizens should learn about the activities of this center. It is important that they understand that a similar structure operates in Armenia and in various disputed situations, you can use it.
