ОSCE MEDIA REPRESENTATIVE REGRET THAT FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION IN ARMENIA CONTINUES
The OSCE Representative on Freedom of the Media, Freimut Duve, expressed regret that two independent television companies in Armenia, A1+ and Noyan Tapan, were not awarded broadcasting licenses as a result of the tender announced by the National Commission on Television and Radio on 18 July in Yerevan.
"Both of these companies have been unable to broadcast for well over a year, thus limiting the Armenian public's ability to watch and listen to a broader range of opinion and diverse reporting," said Freimut Duve.
Their absence from the airwaves underlines that freedom of expression in Armenia continues to be restricted. The OSCE Representative raised the cases of A1+ and Noyan Tapan on several occasions in the OSCE Permanent Council, the Organization's decision making body.
