‘Armenian TV’ is on the way
TRT is now in preparation for the new Armenian TV station, which will
begin broadcasts at the end of 2009. An affirmative outlook has been
given by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs for the upcoming Armenian TV
channel. The start of radio broadcasts in Armenian and an official
website in February will prove as a test for the new television
station. The television broadcasts will include famous Armenian
musicians, such as Ara Gevorgian, Tata, Nune Yesayan, Andre and
Sirusho as well as Karde?Å? T?Ã?¼rk?Ã?¼ler and other Turkish groups that
sing Armenian songs. Categorized as a family channel, Armenian TV will
provide top headlines of developments in Turkey and Armenia on their
newsreel. The new satellite channel, which will employ Armenian staff
members, will also focus on those living in Armenia as well as on
Armenians living in Turkey.
