/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Azerbaijan is going to launch a TV channel to
broadcast in Russian, Armenian, English, Turkish and Farsi, the Head
of Azerbaijan National Television and Radio Council (NTRC) Nushirevan
Magerramli stated.

The new TV channel will be non-governmental, so at present NTRC
is considering a number of cooperation applications from private
companies, according to him.

Broadcast frequency and the profile of the international TV channel
are undecided yet.

"The decision to launch a multi-language TV channel was adopted
in Azerbaijan after the termination of foreign radio stations
broadcasting," Magerramli explained, adding that the proportion of
each language channel grid is not determined yet.

The tender will be announced in March, Azeri Press Agency reported.
