    A new international television station will be launched in Azerbaijan
    soon, the chairman of the National Television and Radio Council (NTRC)
    Nushiravan Maharramli announced.

    According to APA agency he said "Azerbaijan International" will
    broadcast programs in English, Russian, Persian, Turkish and
    Armenian. The opening of the television will be discussed at the
    meeting of the National Television and Radio Council.

    "Decision may be passed to declare competition for the new television
    this month. We have already started the discussions," he said. He
    stated that the Council had received applications from private
    companies to open the international TV Channel and the discussions
    have been conducted based on those applications.

    It is not yet known on what frequency the new international television
    will be broadcast. Maharramli said the NTRC had reserve frequencies
    and underlined that there would be no problem. He added that it would
    not be a state-run television, but a private channel.

    Nushiravan Maharramli also clarified the necessity of opening the
    new international television channel.

    "Azerbaijan has recently passed decisions to stop the broadcast
    of foreign TV channels and radios. But some people do not agree
    with it. Some want a Russian-language channel, others - 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.
