Today the National Assembly continued election of members to the
National Commission on Television and Radio.
Continuing his yesterday's speech ARF-Dashnaktsutyun Chairman
Vahan Hovhannisyan once again highlighted the role of an unbiased
commission. Addressing his colleagues Hovhannisyan said: "Frequently,
our parliamentarians complain of mass media accusing them of an
unbiased attitude towards deputies. This is really sorrowful. But
how can these parliamentarians expect respect from mass media if they
are not independent in their decisions?" said the ARF-Dashnaktsutyun
Chairman.
"Our party will unanimously support candidate Gevorg Harutyunyan
who was able to prove with his deeds that a person affiliated with a
party can act impartially and freely. The freedom of journalists and
party members is not restricted by parties. The country's unhealthy
atmosphere and cowardice make a person utter nonsense. Do not become
slaves of telephone calls," added Mr. Hovhannisyan
"The four members elected by the National Assembly will be accountable
to the parliament and will obey no other body while implementing
their liabilities. The order of election is a novelty and I do hope
it will work," said Heritage MP Stepan Safaryan.
To remind: seven candidates have been nominated for the four members
of the National Commission on Television and Radio. They are Aram
Melkonyan, Gevorg Harutyunyan, Koryun Arakelyan, Hayk Kotanyan,
Armen Lazarian, Karen Vardanyan and Gohar Arshakyan.
