Nagornyy Karabakh has been taking measures to improve the TV and radio
transmission. A few days ago, residents of the villages in the north
of Berdadzor subdistrict of Nagornyy Karabakh’s Susa District obtained
an opportunity to watch programmes of the first [TV] channels of
Russia and Armenia. It has become possible due to joint efforts of the
NKR [Nagornyy Karabakh Republic] government and Artsakhkap [Nagornyy
Karabakh communication] closed-type joint stock company.

The director of the Artsakhkap closed-type joint stock company, Suren
Mirzoyan, has said that these villages have been facing difficulties
with receiving TV programmes since the Soviet period. Transmitters
have been installed to solve the problem. The work is being carried
out on upgrading the NKR’s main TV station.

It has been planned to install satellite transmitters in Shaumyan
District [part of Goranboy District] as well. There are many problems
related to the geographical location of these districts. However,
Mirzoyan said that signals from Azerbaijan and Turkey mostly impede
the normal transmission.
