The President of the National Assembly of Armenia, Hovik Abrahamyan,
issued a congratulatory message on the occasion of the International
Day of TV. The Public Relations Department of the National Assembly
informs that the message states:

"Eighty years ago television came into the life of people, becoming
a unique means of communication.

After the first test program of November 29, 1956, the Armenian
television gradually penetrated into the lives of all of us, changing
our views of time and space. Today it is impossible to imagine our life
without television, which has become a means of shaping the public
opinion and an indispensable means for peace, security, economic and
social development, cultural exchange. Appreciating the merits of TV,
the UN General Assembly announced November 21 as International Day
of Television.

I warmly congratulate all employees of TV. Let the capacity of being
in the centre of events, at the right moment in the right place,
always accompany you, helping you remain a source of information about
the important events in the socio-political, scientific-educational,
historical-cultural life and simply a friend, without which it’s hard
to imagine our life today."
