The draft law on impending "close down" of Radio Free Europe / Radio
Liberty failed for the absence of enough quorums. It failed with 63
for, 0 against and 2 abstention votes. The draft law on "Radio and
TV" was not adopted. At least 66 deputies were to participate in the
voting and the absence of even one voter played a vital role for Radio
Free Europe. The opposition boycotted the bill with the initiative
of Viktor Dallakyan and did not participate in the voting.

Thus, nothings threaten the broadcast of the Radio Liberty at least
at the present moment.
