PRESIDENT KOCHARYAN PROVES THE COUNTRY IS NOT IN NEED OF FREE PRESS

Social

On 2nd the April president Robert Kocharyan made "A1+" TV Company an odd suggestion:to ask for money from the former authorities, to get prepared more properly and to take part in another competition on broadcasting frequency. He had intently watched the 7-hour-long program by "A1+" TV Channel and noted that many of "formers" to have taken part in the program are "well-to-doers". Many questions on these standpoints arise.

1.Does the formers' money shatter president's peace and quiet and he does his best to empty their pockets?

2. If "A1+" TV Company is financed by the "formers" is there any guarantee the present authorities won't suggest much more money to adversaries of "A1+" TV Company.

3.To call the independant TV Company for asking for money from the "formers" or someone else?Is interest of sponsorship stimulated at state level in Armenia?.

During the frequency range competition "Sharm" and "Dauphin" TV Companies' representatives didn't refute the fact they had sponsors. It was noted by "Sharm" TV Company that the company has become well-connected recently and all their friends of business world are ready to finance their projects.

"Dauphin" TV has 4 more powerful strategic investors who can allocate $ 3.000.000. The companies are sure that none of the investors will restrict their creative freedom. These optimists are to be reminded about the popular wisdom which says "The one who pays orders the music".
