According to Armenian legislation the implementers of media activity or journalists are not obliged to disclose the source of information, except for the following cases prescribed by law.
In particular, the implementer of media activity or a journalist can be obliged to disclose the source of information by the court decision, in the course of a criminal proceeding with the aim of revealing heavy or most heavy crimes, if societal interest in law enforcement overweighs the societal interest in protecting the sources of information, and all other means to protect public interest are exhausted.
In such cases, at the petition of the journalist, the court proceedings can be held in camera.
