Announcement by the press divan of the "People's TV" Foundation
On October 28, the packages for the news television channel tender will be opened. "A1+" TV is participating in this tender and is preparing to present public votes along with its package.
The voting initiated by the "People's TV" Foundation through symbolic donations has launched. "It's not important how much you donate. The important thing is your participation which is also your vote for the people's television. Your participation can be decisive for Armenian television.
The data and certificates for the amounts must be submitted when the tender packages are opened on October 28.
Let us remind that verdict that the European Court of Human Rights announced on the appeal filed by "A1+" two years ago, that is, the violation of freedom of speech in Armenia, may finally be fulfilled, if the tender held by the National Commission on Television and Radio is free, fair and transparent.
December 16 will determine the future of Armenian television. Will Armenian television be a people's television for the next ten years that will listen to the people's voice and demand from the authorities? The answer to that question will be clear on that day.

"A1+" is participating in the news-analytical programming license tender and, as a weighty argument, it has 20 years of work experience, a reputation, the verdict of the European Court and public support.
The public supports "A1+" through the "People's TV" Foundation.
