Miklos Haraszti, the OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media,
stated in a news conference on June 21 in Yerevan that during his
meetings the Armenian government raised the question of A1+. Unlike
his meetings with the leadership of Armenian, Haraszti did not meet
with the head of A1+. He announced, however, that he knew about the
problem of the TV company, which had been closed down. Haraszti knew
that the TV company was forced off air, then applied for 12 times
and was denied frequency every time. Miklos Haraszti said it is an
example of shortcomings in licensing. He added that he would dwell
on the process of licensing in his reports and offer proposals.
According to the OSCE representative, the assessment of bids for
license should be more transparent and it is necessary to reduce
the role of vote or restrict it at all. Miklos Haraszti assesses the
change of the order of setting up the National Television and Radio
Committee as essential and positive: if formerly the committee was
set up by a person, presently it is set up by a representational body.
