    Armenian TV head denies "political subtext" behind programme suspension

    YEREVAN

    The head of the [Armenian] Kentron TV (Centre) and leader of the
    United Workers' Party, Gurgen Arsenyan, has denied a statement by the
    opposition Anrapetutyun (Republic) Party explaining the suspension of
    Kentron's Tesankyun programme by pressure put by the presidential
    apparatus on the leadership of the TV channel.

    In an interview with Arminfo, he said that the decision to suspend the
    TV programme was taken earlier and that there is no political
    subtext. "The time has come for Kentron to show more serious
    analytical programmes. "It would not be right to resort to satire now
    when the political situation in the country is so difficult and
    tense," he said.
