Armenian MFA deals with  issue of including VGTRK channels in Armenian  multiplex

ArmInfo. Alen Simonyan, Deputy Speaker of the National Assembly of Armenia, said that he had discussed the issue related to the fate of Russian television  channels with Ambassador of  Russia to Armenia Sergey Kopyrkin.

Simonyan emphasized that there is a system, by means of the  multiplexer channels, the coverage of which is a very small part of  the ether, only a few percent. <All over the world, TV channels of  other countries are not included in multiplexes, even if we are  talking about union states. In our case, several Russian TV channels,  as well as CNN, were included in the multiplex systems. In principle,  it is rather unusual that a foreign language channel is included in  the multiplex. But the desire to be included in the multiplex should  be shown not only by us, but also by Russian television channels,  that is, the process cannot be one-sided.  Currently, the Armenian  Foreign Ministry is working on the issue of including All-Russian  State Television and Radio Broadcasting Company (shortly VGTRK)   channels in the Armenian multiplex>, the Deputy Speaker concluded.
