A1+
NECESSARY BUT NOT ENOUGH
06:22 pm 23 March, 2006
It turns out that the rumors about men’s absence in Armenia do not
fully correspond to reality. The Prime Minister Andranik Margarian
promised in the press to give `A1+’ new premises before it releases
the building on15 Grigor Lusavorich. At first we didn’t take the Prime
Minister’s oral promise seriously as making promises and not keeping
them has developed into a habit in Armenia, but the Prime Minister,
being an official person of the country kept his promise `manly’, as
they use to say in Armenia,’ said the Chairman of the `A1+’ TV channel
Mesrop Movsesian.
Today the representatives of the `A1+’ TV channel visited the 5th
floor of the `Yerevan Project’ Institute on Buzand Street which had
been offered by the Prime Minister. `A1+’ TV channel is offered 240
square meters territory. In Mesrop Movsesyan’s opinion the area
complies with their needs today. The TV channel `A1+’ will readily
move into the new premises but at this moment it will be equal to
appearing in the street and ceasing the media activity. `Today we were
accompanied to the new building by the constructors and the
representatives of the State Property Managing Department. They also
saw that it is in a hopeless state and it is impossible to move there
at present,’ said Mesrop Movsesian. Anyway, he is grateful to the
Prime Minister and the State Property Department for the care. `After
providing all the necessary conditions in the offered place which
require time and serious investments the personnel of `A1+’ will move
in. At present we have one more concern; on which basis is the
building given to us; will `A1+’ face the problem of releasing the
premises in the future?’ wondered Mr. Movsesian. As for the date when
`A1+’ will move into the new place on Buzand Street Mr. Movsesians
responded, ‘We are ready to move right now if we find it possible to
continue our work in that area. Today I can not put the staff in front
of a dilemma. I can’t repair the place either as the National Science
Academy is not going to compensate the money invested by `A1+’ on 15
Grigor Lusavorich. I think we must contemplate over it together and
find solutions with joint measures.’
