RA authorities reluctant to international recommendationsJune 16, 2010 - 15:13 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Objections presented by the international organizations regarding the amendments to the RA Law on Television and Radio will not be accepted by the authorities but will be taken into consideration, according to Vahan Hovhannisyan, head of the ARF Dashnaktsutyun parliamentary group. “This will cause some difficulties for the activity of the Armenian delegation to PACE, and our deputies will try to overcome them. Thereafter, during the fall session, when our authorities realize their mistake, this law will be re-brought to the parliament floor and new amendments will be introduced,” he told journalists on June 16. “This means that the Armenian authorities do not take the right step from the very beginning. They do it under pressure,” Mr. Hovhannisyan concluded. Top stories President of the Armenian parliament Alen Simonyan met with the Speaker of the Azerbaijani Milli Majlis Sahiba Gafarova.
