In all "newsrooms" it is customary to hang clocks showing the time of different cities, because when, let's say, for example, it is said that there will be such and such an event in Singapore at such and such time in local time, it is always marked that way so that the journalist working in the country knows that it is in local time. what time is it
Armen Koloyan, acting director of Public Radio, mentioned this today in a conversation with journalists, referring to the installation of clocks showing the time of Baku and Ankara in the building of Public Radio, which the employees removed.
To the observation that it is a way of pleasing official Baku, Koloyan responded by stating that he is the least interested in what official Baku thinks about us.
"I really didn't think about it, because at Azatutyun radio station, where I worked for 32 years, the flags of Azerbaijan, Armenia, Georgia, and Ukraine and Russia, which are fighting each other, were placed side by side. I see it as a general approach. If we decide that there is no Baku at all, let's close our eyes and say there is no Baku and that's it.
But there is one thing." He emphasized that he spoke with the collective and they decided to remove the Baku clock. When asked whether he considers Azerbaijan an enemy or not, Koloyan did not answer, he only stated that he does not answer political questions. "If I say is an enemy or not an enemy, that will be a political assessment.
The executive director of public radio does not make political assessments," he said.
