Tamara Sargsyan, Head of the General Education Department at Armenia's Ministry of Education, Science, Culture, and Sports, stated that Armenia is exploring the option of limiting social media access for children under 16.

Sargsyan noted that the Education Ministry is discussing the issue with the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs and the Ministry of High‑Tech Industry, The Caspian Post reports, citing Armenian media.

She emphasized that digital protection of children is a priority, and the state must ensure the availability of sufficient tools and regulations to safeguard children in the digital environment.

"A study is being conducted to identify all major opportunities, risks, and challenges. Only after having this complete picture will it be possible to understand what regulations are needed and how they can be applied accurately and in a targeted way. Accordingly, we will also understand which websites need to be restricted. The topic is sensitive, and there are many questions and layers involved," said Sargsyan.
