The aggression propagated by the television, has a negative effect
on the public culture in Armenia, sociologist Vahram Mirakyan said
at today's press conference in Yerevan.
"The Armenian TV series idealizing the criminal figures contribute
to the growth of aggression in the country. I'd like to point out an
interesting fact: the Armenian series started going on the air in
2005-2006, and it is since 2005 that violence has started growing
in the country. For instance, in 2005 some 8,000 cases of violence
were fixed in the country, but now their number is 15,000", Mirakyan
stressed.
Mirakyan thinks that it is necessary to create institutional
structures, which will regulate the television broadcasting. He also
positively estimated the prompt response of Armenian President Serzh
Sargsyan to the open letter of the Public Council asking the President
to change the broadcasting policy.
For his part, military expert David Jamalyan said that the state
should create a political culture of television, which will bring up
the growing generation instead of propagating violence or aggression.
He said that the state should finance various programs not only on the
Public TV. It should also hold various competitions, he added. Only the
joint use of encouragement and punishment can give positive results,
he said.
