“A1+ SHOULD PARTICIPATE IN A NEW TENDER”
Support A1+!“The decisions of the European Court are compulsory and are to be executed,” says Alvina Gyulumian, Armenia's representative to the European Court of Human Rights.
“The National Television and Radio Commission has never grounded for its denial of A1+'s broadcasting licences. Consequently, A1+ should run in a new tender,” Mrs. Gyulumian said during an interview to Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty regarding the ECHR decision according to which A1+'s embattlement is incompliant with the European Convention on Human Rights.
Lawyer Tigran-Yesayan who defends A1+’s interests in ECHR litigations is convinced that the recent amendments to the RoA Law on “Television and Radio” which interdicts tenders for frequencies by July 20, 2010, have been adopted to rule out A1+'s participation in such tenders.
“The Government has simply passed the amendments to exclude further tenders,” he says.
And yet, Alvina Gyulumian says Armenia has assumed certain responsibilities and commitments before the Council of European, therefore the country is to execute the EC decisions.
“Тhere is no other way out. Once we have integrated into the structure we should implement our commitments,” she says.
