YEREVAN, MARCH 20, NOYAN TAPAN. Lately the Kentron and H2 TV companies
have applied to the Press Office of Zharangutiun (Heritage) Party
inviting party leader Raffi Hovannisian to take part in Urvagits
ans Chorrord Studia political broadcasts. But as it was mentioned in
the press release of party's Press Office, "it is strange that after
information blockade lasting a year and a half such invitations were
received at the very moment when R. Hovannisian is away for some days."
According to the statement, if that "bursts" of attention are
not formal, these TV companies will have an opportunity to receive
R. Hovannisian already one of these days, as soon as he is back. "And
in that case it will be possible to state that the bonds imposed
from the presidential residence on native TV companies have softened
a little."
The Zharangutiun Party's Press Office also touched upon NA Speaker
Tigran Torosian's statement that R. Hovannisian's frequent trips
to foreign countries maybe have impact on not giving him the right
to speak on TV. In connection with that statement it was mentioned
that the majority of political figures, including NA Speaker, much
oftener and for a longer time travel abroad, which, nevertheless,
does not hamper to give not seconds or minutes but hours to coverage
of their activities.
