    YEREVAN SPEAKS AND PRESENTS
    Nvard Davtyan

    Public Radio, Armenia
    Nov 21 2006

    In 2006 the Armenian Radio is celebrating the 80th anniversary;
    the TV is 50.

    It comes out that many of the NA Deputies started their career from
    the radio. However, it's not the only reason why the Deputies listen to
    and like the radio, which always provides interesting and professional
    programs, unbiased and correct political analysis.

    Nevertheless, sometimes the Deputies themselves exceed the limits of
    precision in their speeches, forgetting that a great number of radio
    listeners are following them.

    MP Arshak Sadoyan is one of the few Deputies whose love for radio and
    radio-listeners is not a secret. "Dear radio-listeners," this is how
    Arshak Sadoyan always starts his speeches at the National Assembly.

    Arshak Sadoyan loves the radio. One thing he feels sorry for is that
    the frequency on which the parliamentary sittings are aired does not
    allow having a broader audience.

    The Deputy remembers the times when the radio was his only and
    best friend. "That period of my life had an important role in the
    formation of my personality," he says. "In the 9th grade I injured
    my leg and I had to spend 1.5 years in bed. In this period radio
    was my only friend day and night. I was listening to news, music,
    everything that was broadcasted," Arshak Sadoyan recalls.

    The politician attaches the same importance to television.

    The radio set is always turned on also in MP Viktor Dallakyan's office.

    The Public Radio arouses the bright and sweet memories of his
    childhood, when he was impatiently waiting for juvenile programs.

    Today he has subsisted these with political and analytical programs
    again broadcasted at the Public Radio of Armenia. "I want to say
    that compared to other media the Public Radio is more objective when
    presenting and commenting on political events," Viktor Dallakyan says.

    Opposition MP Stepan Zackaryan started his political career from the
    radio. He was the first Director General of the radio from 1996.

    Before that he worked as editor, editor-in-chief and Vice-President.

    These were the best years for the Deputy. "Some years ago the Public
    Radio was out of competition, but during the hard dark and cold years
    the responsibility of the radio was even greater," the MP says.

    Today the radio remains the main source of information for a great
    number of people. And this has been the case for already 80 years.
