The Armenian Radio is celebrating its 82nd anniversary today, which is
the recurrent vivid proof of the fact that for decades the Armenian
Radio has been the best friend and a preferable source of information
for Armenian listeners in both Armenia and abroad. Today, in this age
of rapid development of information technologies, when the world is
flooded by most various means of transferring information, millions of
our compatriots are still linked to the Motherland through the Armenian
Radio.
Today we are not alone in the air space, which we ` continuers of the
traditions of the Armenian Radio ` welcome, since competition was the
driving force that became an impetus for the Public Radio to find and
occupy its proper place in the new reality. `Over the past few years
the leadership of the Public Radio managed to implement serious
technical re-equipment. Today almost all the equipments of the Public
Radio are digitalized, the fund of the Radio has been digitalized,’
said Varuzhan Olkinyan, commentator of the Public Radio of Armenia.
`No matter how much the television and digital technologies develop,
the radio will never yield its positions. It has gone through many
trials and survived thanks to the fact that it carries out its function
of educating and providing information without taking time form the
listener, a factor, which is very important in this high-speed age.
Thus, the news about the past age and the death of radio are extremely
exaggerated,’ Director of the Radio Van Shushanik Arevshatyan said.
According to her, the future belongs to the radio, and radio’s speech
is very influential and important. `Words can cure or kill a man. Once
the voice of Levitan was inspiring hope in people, and while there is
this magic and psychological influence of the voice, radio will exist,’
Shushanik Arevshatyan.
Yerevan is on air¦ These words have sounded for 82 years, spreading the
voice of the Armenian state all over the world. Millions of Armenians
in different sites of the world communicate with the Motherland and
feel the pulse of Armenia thanks to the Armenian Radio. Today we
congratulate our partners from all the radio stations, wishing
uninterrupted broadcasting.
