/PanARMENIAN.Net/ RA Chief Officer of Justice denies dismantling GALA
Gyumri TV channel broadcast equipment.
Armenia’s Chief Officer of Justice Gagik Ayvazian refuted hearsay
that yesterday his employees dismantled the broadcast equipment of
GALA Gyumri TV channel.
Commenting on the situation, Gagik Ayvazian said, "On receipt of an
enforcement order from the Court of General Jurisdiction of Shirak
region, officers of justice are empowered to dismantle the antenna.
However, they confined themselves to a warning disconnection."
"GALA’s antenna is still on the television tower of Gyumri and the
TV channel will again be able to legally start broadcasting in case
the legal procedure initiated against it is dropped.
Earlier this month, the Court of Appeal of Armenia upheld the decision
of Gyumri Court of First Instance, which obliged GALA TV channel to
clear its equipment from the old television tower, which belongs to
Gyumri city administration, Mediamax reports.
