PACE does not approve the demand of the Monitoring Committee for
immediate provision of a license for broadcasting to A1+ TV Company.

ArmInfo correspondent from Strasbourg reports that Assembly amended the
demand and replaced it with the necessity of contributing to e-media
pluralism, to open and fair procedure of licensing in conformity with
the protocols of European Court for Human Rights and the directives of
the CE Committee of Ministers on licensing of TV and radio companies.

Explaining the necessity of such amendment, Head of the Armenian
delegation to PACE David Haroutunyan said: ‘In conformity with the
provisions of the effective legislation, it is impossible to get a
license for broadcasting evading the law’.
