The illegal interference of foreign television and radio channels,
in particular, those of Armenia and Iran, to the air broadcasts in
Azerbaijan will be prevented soon.

The Ministry of Communications and Information Technologies has placed
an order with the Information Technologies Institute to develop a
system at fighting illegal broadcasts, Minister Ali Abbasov told
journalists Wednesday.

The new system being prepared jointly with the Ministry experts will
allow to fully solve the problem, he said.

“We will put the new system into operation soon, which will make it
possible to oversee broadcasts in any given district,” Abbasov said.
