ARMENIA: U.S. RADIO CONTRACT NOT RENEWED
Stratfor
July 26 2007
Armenian state radio has refused a contract extension for the
U.S.-funded Liberty Radio broadcast, raising concerns of a clampdown
on independent media ahead of the 2008 presidential election,
Agence France-Presse reported July 26. The move follows the Armenian
parliament’s early July refusal to amend a law that forbids the airing
or re-broadcasting of foreign-produced programs.
