Aram Abramyan’s resignation from the post of director of the Aravot TV
channel has nothing to do with politics, Aram Abramyan wrote in his
article entitled “Provincial management” in Aravot newspaper today.

The article said that during his management of the TV channel, nobody
exerted political pressure on him and his political activity was not
influenced. Moreover, nobody asked him to resign from his post, on
the contrary, he was asked to stay and continue his work. The reason
for his resignation from the post of the TV channel’s director, he
said, is the incorrect management of the channel. As an example, he
cited the submission of the channel’s balance for 2003 only on 15 July
2004 and other failures in financial management.

All this, as Aram Abramyan said, does not allow the TV channel to
develop professionally, and the director did not want to manage the TV
channel which has no high quality programmes. “Programmes of low
quality would have discredited my professional reputation,” Aram
Abramyan wrote.
