Broadcasting policy to change
Serzh Sargsyan and Chairman of the RA Public Council Vazgen Manukyan have discussed issues related to television and the issue of developing a new policy on broadcasting.
They have touched upon the letter that several intellectuals and representatives of non-governmental organizations have addressed to Serzh Sargsyan, expressing their concerns over the aggressive, criminal and anti-social programs on television.
Serzh Sargsyan, attaching importance to the issues raised, has appealed to the Public Council to solve the issue. The Public Council will hold discussions with the leaders of the National Commission on Television and Radio and television companies, intellectuals and non-governmental organizations concerned about the issue and will develop plans to change the policy on broadcasting for Public Television, as well as private television stations.
Vazgen Manukyan mentioned that the Public Council had raised the issue several times and that it was in the Council's focus. Manukyan expressed commitment to propose clear-cut mechanisms for improving the sphere by late September on the basis of public discourse with all interested parties.
