YEREVAN, September 10. /ARKA/. Digitalization of Armenian Public
TV and Radio may cost some $100mln, RA Minister of Economy Nerses
Yeritsyan said during the parliamentary hearings on the amendments
to the Law on Television and Radio.

The minister stressed the importance of estimating the project.

"It is impossible to say how much exactly digitalization will cost,
as this is a large-scale program," Yeritsyan said.
