Freedom House called Armenia a country with free internet in its new report “Freedom of the Net 2014”.
The report indicated that internet penetration rate in Armenia has continued improving over the past few years, accompanied by fewer restrictions on online content.
In terms of obstacles to access Armenia got 7 points out of 25, in terms of limits on content – 9 out of 35 and 12 points out of 40 on violation of user rights.
Thus, Armenia and Georgia are the only states with free internet in the CIS area.
Azerbaijan and Turkey, as well as Russia and Ukraine, are named countries with “partly free” internet.
Syria, Iran and China are among the states with the worst state of internet freedom.
