  • Dallakian Sure Authorities Have Decided to Stop RFE/RL Broadcasts

    VIKTOR DALLAKIAN IS CONVINCED THAT ARMENIAN AUTHORITIES HAVE MADE A
    POLITICAL DECISION TO STOP BROADCASTING OF RADIO LIBERTY

    YEREVAN, JULY 4, NOYAN TAPAN. RA MP Viktor Dallakian, at the July 4
    press conference, said that the Armenian authorities have made a
    political decision to stop the broadcasting of the Radio Liberty.

    In his words, the events connected with the Radio Liberty that happened
    at the NA special sitting were conditioned by the circumstance of
    competition inside the power. The MP said that almost all issues placed
    on the session agenda regarded the government program, while the
    legislative package had nothing in common with the government's
    activity.

    As V. Dallakian evaluated, the bill submitted by the government was
    voted down on July 3 at the parliament as a result of combination of a
    number of factors, people's negative attitude, external factors,
    parliamentary opposition's being organized, the circumstance of
    competition inside the power, and parliamentary majority's being not
    organized.

    The MP said that before the 2008 presidential elections the authorities
    will try to do everything for silencing the voice of the Radio Liberty,
    and it is not excluded that a new bill will be submitted to the NA in
    September.

    In V. Dallakian's words, though the Board of the Public Television can
    solve the issue of depriving the Liberty of air on its own, it will be
    afraid of much stir.
