    the law 'On Television and Radio' doesn't concern the Radio Liberty

    Today, on June 29, Anthony Godfrey, Charge d'Affaires of the US Embassy
    in Armenia, told journalists that Tigran Torossyan, Speaker of the
    Armenian Parliament, confirmed that the package of laws adopted in the
    first reading on June 29 are not directed against the Radio Liberty.

    A.Godfrey noted that the USA has been proud of the Radio Liberty's work
    for a long time. If this bill is directed against the Radio Liberty, in
    is incomprehensible how the law will contribute to democratic purposes,
    he noted.

    A.Godfrey also met Armenian Prime Minister Serzh Sargsyan who promised
    that the Radio Liberty's broadcast will not be limited. At the same
    time, he noted that the US Embassy in Armenia continues
    following the development of the situation. To remind, today the
    Armenian Parliament adopted a draft law on introducing amendments to
    the law "On Television and Radio". Many observers think that the draft
    law restricts the broadcast of the Radio Liberty.
