NCTR AGAIN INFRINGES THE LAW

And it tries to hide infringements by small cunnings.

The 50th article of the law “About Television and Radio” was inserted
in December 2003 according to which “National Commission must properly
substantiate decisions about selecting the owner of license, refusing
the license”.

According to the 67th article of the ”NCTR code” that decision is
sent to the applicant in 10 days after taking decision.

The NCTR hasn’t substantiated yet the reasons of refusing ”A1+”
after summarizing contest proposals on 25 of May.

The NCTR chairman Grigor Amalian affirmed in the press interview
yesterday that he had been slandered. According to him they sent the
copy of decision by post on 5 of June. But the envelope was returned
to the NCTR on 8 of June; ” If the addressee doesn’t receive the
ordered letter after sending it for two times, it is returned to the
sender, informing him about it”. The point is that the letter was
sent to the ”A1+” director Mesrop Movsesian where the ”Meltex”
company is registered. The NCTR chairman mentioned that just that
address was mentioned in the application of participation in the
contest. ”You should write you next address as the alternative one
in the application”, – Grigor Amalian said.

But the address Lusovrchi15 as the address of company is mentioned
just on the first page of the contest proposal of ”A1+” and it is
supposed that the NCTR members should see the first page of that
package. The ”A1+” producer Susanna Ohanjanian told ”Aravot”;
”I was writing the application in the NCTR personnel and I wrote
Lusovorchi 15 in the place of address. The NCTR chief of licensing and
methodic department Ishkhan Vardanian asked me to write the juridical
address. I said if they needed in sending letters they should send
by that address. He answered, we knew your place. He made me tear
that paper and I wrote again”.

By the way Mesrop Movsesian’s neighbor are Badeyans’ from whom we
informed that the only letter was brought on 8 of June, that is in
14 days. The postman has made the neighbors to sign that they have
received the letter.

This story is essential for the following circumstance; Susanna
Ohanjanian informed “Aravot” on 25 of May that it wasn’t excluded
that they would turn to court for that infringement after receiving
the copy of the NCTR decision; “The NCTR was obliged to publish the
demands of the contest, those minimal demands which the participants
are obliged to provide. The commission hasn’t done it for this
time”. Grigor Amalian named this accusation “obvious falsehood”
and slander. ”There was an open, public sitting and all demands of
the contest have been published. If there wasn’t any condition how
that contest was taken place?”
