Former British Ambassador in Armenia Charles Lonsdale: ‘Limited progress in reporting of gay issues, still long way to go to overcome prejudices’

On his farewell blog post, former British Ambassador in Armenia Charles Lonsdale says:

“[...] There’s also been some progress on gender issues and it’s possible now to hope for some progress on the question of domestic violence in a way I didn’t think possible when I first arrived.  There’s even been some limited progress in reporting of lesbian and gay issues, though there’s still a long way to go to overcome some deep-rooted prejudices.”
