YEREVAN, OCTOBER 7, ARMENPRESS. After the 2020 War, the trust towards official information has strongly declined and now an attempt is made to restore it with small steps, Gor Tsarukyan, Director of Public Relations and Information Center SNCO operating under the Office of the Prime Minister of Armenia, said during a discussion today entitled “Hybrid War: Targets of Information Sabotage and Steps to Fight It”.
“The information security issues in Armenia have further deepened by the formation of a crisis regarding official information, which was created after the 44-Day War. After the 2020 War, the trust towards official information has strongly declined, and we had to restore some trust after that with small steps. It’s very hard, because if there was a total peaceful situation in reality, perhaps it would have been easier and would have been possible to restore that trust in a short period of time. But as we are regularly in hybrid wars, are regularly facing aggression and information attacks, restoring the trust towards official information is quite difficult”, he said.
Gor Tsarukyan presented what steps are being taken in the field of information security.
“There should be a certain center that will consolidate the activities of all structures in the direction of information policy and will be able to regulate. The Public Relations and Information Center is trying to assume this role to some extent, both through its activities and strategies. An information security strategy is being developed that should unite the activities of not only the state agencies, but also the efforts of the civil society. In this respect, the strategy is quite successful, and we have already presented it. I am convinced that it will be approved in a short period of time”, he said.
