Bright Armenia Party can’t consider this law a completely modern law since there is nothing mentioned about electronic media. This is what deputy of the Bright Armenia faction of the National Assembly Ani Samsonyan declared in parliament today.

Samsonyan stated that electronic mass media also rebroadcast audiovisual shows, and this is the reason why it is necessary to have a law that will regulate the activities in this sector. “The Bright Armenia Party could have submitted the bill later, but in that case, we would also include regulation of the activities of electronic mass media. I think it would have been better,” Samsonyan said.

The bill will replace the Law on Television and Radio which, according to the deputies, doesn’t meet the requirements of the time.

In addition, according to the authors of the bill, the goal of the bill is to ensure independence of the body regulating media services, as well as ensure security and development of audiovisual information and increase the potential of audiovisual shows.
