In the Criminal Action Code it's proposed to add a provision, according to which the informational source of the reporter can be revealed by the court's decision during a closed hearing and only in the case, when the necessity of the criminal legal security of the public interests is more important than the public interest of not revealing the informational source and the whole remaining means of the public interests' security are exhausted.

During the "round-table" organized on the same day on the initiative of the "Internews", Boris Navasardian, the President of Yerevan Press Club mentioned, that the legislative changes are necessary for securing the real freedom of speech, to be defended from the so called "mild" or covered censorship.
