independent. This point of view was expressed by Narine Avetisian,

Armavir region, at the press conference, which was held on August

television companies are the same: to mainly touch upon the economic
and social problems of the region.

companies are mainly a result of advertisements and commercial
ether hours, as for financial problems, they arise only during the
implementation of new series of programs.
