Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan threatened to turn off Russian TV channels if Russia ignores the demands of the republican authorities.
“The agreement presupposes respect for Armenia and its interests. Considering friendly relations, we are ready to ask seven times, then demand seven times. But if after the seventh time these demands are ignored, there is no other option, these TV channels should be turned off, they should not broadcast,” RIA Novosti quotes Pashinyan.
In March, in Armenia, the broadcast of the author’s programmes “Evening with Vladimir Solovyov” and “Sunday Evening with Vladimir Solovyov” was banned in the multiplex of the RTR-Planeta TV channel, and in December, broadcasting of Sputnik Armenia radio was suspended in the republic for a month.
Nikol Pashinyan also stated that Armenia is not going to ask any country for permission to develop relations with the EU.
