YEREVAN. – Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan and Public Council Chairman Vazgen Manukyan discussed the letter which recently was sent to the President by several intellectuals and NGO representatives. In their letter, they had expressed a concern with respect to the aggressive, criminal-like, and antisocial television programs being aired in the country.   

Underscoring the raised issue, Sargsyan instructed the Public Council to take the matter under its umbrella by organizing discussions and designing plans toward changing the TV broadcasting policy, the Council’s press service informs.    

In his turn, Vazgen Manukyan noted that the issue is at the center of the Public Council’s attention. 

And he was instructed to propose, by the end of September, clear mechanisms toward improving this domain.
