    YEREVAN, MAY 14, NOYAN TAPAN. "I think a TV channel without
    advertisements and far from policy will be aimed at promotion of
    high-class art," Artavazd Bayatian, the Director of the Ardzagank radio
    station, said at the May 14 press conference meaning the cultural TV
    channel to be opened in Armenia soon.

    According to him, the cultural TV channel will give artists, critics
    a possibility of expression, besides, classical music will be often
    performed by that channel, which, unfortunately, is not done by
    the other TV channels at all. "Classical art is very important for
    aesthetical education.

    Certainly, there will be also variety music on that channel, but not
    the art created for sale," A. Bayatian said. In his words, television
    should form opinion and taste, the cultural TV channel is expected
    to be just this way.

    Eduard Topchian, the Art Director and the Conductor of the Armenian
    State Philharmonic Orchestra, is also sure that the new TV channel will
    serve its purpose. "I hope it will be the only channel our "stars" and
    "starlets" will not seize. Let all TV channels be theirs and that one
    ours. Certainly, there should also be variety music, but not the music
    we have on the market today," E. Topchian emphasized. In his words,
    unfortunately, our people wishes to listen to such music. The bright
    evidence of it is that if variety singers rent the Aram Khachatrian
    concert hall, the concerts are held in crowded halls, while, if
    world-famous musicians, opera singers perform, those concerts are
    held in half-empty halls.
