WHERE IS THE GROUD, AMALYAN?

Support A1+!

So far “A1+” hasn’t been presented the decision of the National Commission on Television and Radio (NCTR) though 12 days have passed after the tendency.

The most independent commission on television and radio violates the RA “Law on Television and Radio” and the order of tendencies worked out by the commission.

According to Article 50 of the law, “The commission must bring grounds for the decisions of selecting license owners, license giving or denying and recognizing the license invalid.” According to the same law, they must be delivered to the tendency participants within 10 days.

The NCTR presented no grounds to “A1+” on the results of the television and radio tendencies since 2002. The only ground was one-line letter with Commission Chairman Amalyan’s signature, the content of which was as follows, “the Commission decided that this or that LTD is the winner of the tendency,” which, surely, cannot be considered a ground.

Thus we can say that “A1+” participated in 12 tendencies within 4 years and was never given a distinct and warranted ground why the Commission constantly refuses the offer of “A1+,” by which criteria they govern while deciding this or that winner and why is the company having 10-year experience, professional staff and corresponding technical base constantly deprived of broadcast license and why the winners become some unknown, unsophisticated and unfamiliar companies instead of “A1+”.

Though the Commission members may deem their subjective and non professional characteristics as the required grounds. Perhaps deputy chairman of the Commission Shamiram Aghabekyan who hasn’t the slightest notion of television was of that opinion while naming “A1+”’s offer “a weak one.”

If in the past years the “Law on Television and Radio” allowed the Commission to avoid bringing grounds for its decisions at present the Commission is obliged to give grounds as a result of amendments introduced in the law under the pressure of the European structures in 2004.

12 days have passed since the last radio tendency but the Commission has not presented any ground to “A1+,” though it was to do it within 10 days.

The Commission chairman seizes the opportunity to tell tales that “A1+” didn’t bring grounds for its offer properly, and he gets deeply astonished “that “A1+” had no experience to participate in the tendencies before but now being already sophisticated it presents suchlike offer.” But neither his lyric words nor his astonishment can serve as grounds. According to the RA law he must bring grounds for his “astonishment” and present them to the company.

The chairman of the most independent Commission likes to rely on the law but he breaches the same law without any heart remorse.

But why do we speak of his heart remorse? Nobody expects the existence of pangs of conscience from their side. The only thing they are obliged to do is to meet the requirements of the RA law.
