`Azerbaijan has recently passed decisions to discontinue foreign TV
channels and radios. But some people do not agree to it. Some want a
Russian-language channel, others channels in other languages. We have
studied the international practice. The most optimal variant is the
international television. Several foreign languages will be used in
this television channel. The company winning the competition will
determine the time for the languages. We will have discussions about
it,' he said.
