ArmInfo. I believe that issues related to cybersecurity are of significant importance for Armenia. This was announced on January 13 at the press conference by the head of the Public Council of Armenia Styopa Safaryan.
Safaryan noted that when he was involved in the Public Council as a member, he considered this one of the most important tasks of the structure. "I believe that freedom of speech, as well as the unhindered activities of journalists, is of key importance. At the same time, I am aware of the problems that arise in a number of other countries that occur due to misinformation. These problems sometimes become a threat to the security of countries," he said.
The head of the Public Council noted that the legal structures of the country are not too diligent in dealing with this issue. "I know that in the recent past, journalists contacted legal structures who received threats from various fakes. However, there was no reaction to these complaints. I also sent complaints in connection with this issue, but no steps on the part of legal structures it didn't follow, "said Safaryan.
The head of the Public Council stated that on this issue the Public Council can present a concept that will address the problems of information security and the spread of fakes in Armenia. "I believe that the problem should rather be studied, understood and regulated, since even the application of a simple punishment against these people is not a solution to the issue," Safaryan concluded.
