    Armenian FM does not want to even think about possible stoppage of
    broadcasting of Radio Liberty in Armenia

    2007-06-29 16:26:00



    Armenian Foreign Minister Vardan Oskanyan does not want to even think
    about the possible stoppage of the broadcasting of Radio Liberty in
    Armenia.

    When asked by journalists today to comment on the changes in the law on
    TV and radio, Oskanyan expressed hope that the law would not be a
    setback in the freedom of speech situation in Armenia. He called
    "hypothetic" the question about the influence of the possible closure
    of Radio Liberty Armenia on Armenian-US relations. He reiterated that
    he would not like to think about closure of a radio station that is
    making an important contribution to the development of democracy in
    Armenia.

    To remind, the changes propose prohibiting foreign companies to
    broadcast their programs on the frequencies of the Public Radio Company
    of Armenia and many say that this may result in the stoppage
    of RL program in Armenia.
