[ad_1]
The Commission on Television and Radio of Armenia lifted the ban on broadcasting from the company “Tospa”, which retransmits the Russian radio station “Sputnik Armenia”. Its broadcasts are scheduled to resume on January 25.
In December, the same commission suspended the broadcasting license for 30 days and fined the repeater 500,000 drams (approximately $1,200).
The reason for this decision was the author’s program of the Russian TV and radio presenter Tigran Keosayan. The Commission considered that in the issue dated November 17, he spoke about Armenia and its citizens “in mocking and humiliating terms”, “called for actions prohibited by legislation”, and also, asking himself the question “will Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan remain alive”, actually called for violence
- “Sputnik” is a Russian state news agency that produces content for foreign audiences in more than 30 languages. After Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Sputnik websites and radio stations were blocked in many Western countries, accused of spreading propaganda.
