PUBLIC TELEVISION NOT TO WORK IN ACADEMIC STYLE

Today chairman of the council of the Armenian Public Television Alexan
Harutyunyan presented the report on the council activities on year 2004. He
noted that the report was submitted to the press in its full version and was
delivered to the deputies 1.5 month ago. The more detailed report was
presented by member of the commission of the issues of culture, science and
education, representative of the Armenian National Movement Ruben Hovsepyan.

The deputies inquired why sarcastic comments addressed to Geghamyan and
Demirchyan are constantly heard on the public television.

Ruben Hovsepyan called to increase the number of military-patriotic programs
while Mekhak Mkhitaryan made a demand to increase the number of programs
dedicated to the villages as the rating of other companies (evidently ALM)
is keeping high due to this reason.

Alexan Harutyunyan stated that the public television will not work in
academic style and he will do his best to make the company correspond to
international standards. «It is hard taking into account the established
traditions», he noted adding that he will take into consideration the
remarks and undertake measures to correct the shortcomings.
