YEREVAN, JULY 13, NOYAN TAPAN. Rudolf Perina, Charge d’Affaires of the
United States, and Serge Sargsian, the Prime Minister of the Republic
of Armenia, had a meeting on July 12, during which they touched upon
the subject of the broadcast of the programs of the Armenian service of
the "Azatutiun" (Liberty) radio station. According to the information
provided to Noyan Tapan by the Information and Public Relations’
Department of the RA Government, Rudolf Perina mentioned that,
irrespective of the fact that this issue is presented as an alleged
problem in contractual relations, nevertheless, according to him, if
there are problems, then they should be solved and should not become
food for anxiety. The Prime Minister repeated what he had said during
his meeting with Anthony Godfrey, the former Ambassador, mentioning
that they have never made a decision in respect of limiting or
prohibiting the broadcasts of the "Azatutiun" (Liberty) radio station
and that this problem should not be considered with this regard.
This issue, according to the Prime Minister, concerns the regulation
of certain problems, in the direction of which the President of the
Council of the Television and Radio Company is conducting negotiations
with the management of the Armenian service of the "Azatutiun"
(Liberty) radio station. The Prime Minister made assertions that he
will again refer to this problem in case of necessity depending on
the results of the negotiations.
Rudolf Perina considered this step to be a quite right one and
mentioned that if there are misunderstandings with regard to
technical questions, then, they should, no doubt, be solved during
the negotiations.
