Trend, Baku, 14.08.2005 -- Azerbaijan's newly established Public
TV and Radio (PTR) Company will broadcast TV programs in Armenian
for Armenian speaking population of Azerbaijan, first time since
Azerbaijan got independence.
"We will prepare these programs to keep the Azerbaijani citizens of
Armenian origin living in Karabakh informed about processes taken
place in the country and call on them to peaceful coexistence in the
composition of Azerbaijan," said Ismayil Omarov, the Director General
of the PTR.
The broadcasting of programs in Armenian by the Public TV & Radio
(PTR) is expedient, Akif Nagi, the chairman of the Karabakh Liberation
Organization (KLO), told Trend. Nagi considers broadcasting of programs
in Armenian right decision from this point of view.
"It is necessary to convince Armenians that their rights won't
be violated in Azerbaijan and they became puppets in the hands of
aggressors," Nagi said.
