Tigran Hakobyan, Chairman of the Television and Radio Committee, stressed the need to restrict foreign TV programs, noting that without legislative changes it is impossible to prevent the penetration of political agendas of other countries in the Armenian Information field.
"We consider it very important to the strict regulation of broadcasting foreign TV programs. Legislative changes are needed to protect the political agendas of other countries in public multiplex, except for children or cultural nature and in Armenian translation, "Hakobyan said," Armenpress "reported.
He reminded the public grievances on the content of Russian TV programs, noting that the situation would be easier to prevent political will in limiting the entry of such programs years ago.
"In order to clear, our problem is not only the blocking of Russian plans, but the severe restriction of foreign programs in general. For example, the French TV channel was presented by the map of the South Caucasus without Armenia. Now that TV channel wants to enter Armenian multiplex. In such a case, if we allow the French side, we will have to allow other allies and friendly countries. As a result, the public multiplex, which was created by taxpayers, will become a stage of these interstate clashes, stage of information wars, "he said.
