ArmInfo. Armenian TV channels may lose license for "cheesecake" on air.
"Non-fulfillment of standards developed by the National Commission
for Television and Radio will be punished even by recall of license,"
said Artak Davtyan, Head of the Parliamentary Commission for Science,
Education, Culture, Youth and Sport, said at Mirror Club Debate Club
on Thursday. It is noteworthy that the members of the Commission
and A. Davtyan believe that restriction on broadcasting of erotic
content programs and films will have positive impact on education of
the growing generation. Unfortunately, erotic films are openly sold in
the country and nightclubs with posters of striptease girls can be seen
from a long distance, which is still relevant problem. Nevertheless,
the restrictions of the Commission are not exact. In this context,
the expert Anush Sedrakyan says: "Proceeding from the logic of the
Commission, 80% of films of the universal cinema classics, must not
be broadcasted on Television."
