Students were interested in the freedom of speech in Armenia and in the USA. There was also discussion about the Insult Law, and the right of privacy.

About 15 people participated in the roundtable discussion. They were mainly students from different universities including, Gyumri State Pedagogical Institute, Gyumri Branch of State Economic University, as well as different NGO representatives. The discussion was very interesting and useful as it helped the students learn about the rights of journalists and the different laws connected with them. It also helped them to develop their English speaking skills.
