YEREVAN, JULY 2, NOYAN TAPAN. The Transparency International international organization's Armenian office, the Helsinki Committee of Armenia and a number of other NGOs on July 2 organized an action of protest against the amendment to the RA law "On Television and Radio" proposed by the RA government, which, in the opinion of the participants of the action of protest, is unequivocally aimed against the broadcasting of the Radio Liberty. It should be mentioned that the bill adopted in the first reading on June 29 at the NA envisages to "unanimously forbid activity of other organizations on the frequences of the Public TV and Radio Company." The action participants moved from the RA government building to the RA National Assembly, their mouths tied with white ribbons. The demonstrants placed slogans "To Close Liberty: For You, Armenia," "1937-2007," "Shame on the Feudal Clan and Its Myrmidons" near the NA building. As Noyan Tapan correspondent was informed by Amalia Kostanian, the Chairwoman of the Transparency International Armenian Office, the goal of the action of protest is to prevent adoption of the bill by the RA MPs in the second reading. "We have no doubt that the law will be adopted, as we have self-will in our country," she mentioned meanwhile.
