IRFS, Baku, 03 Mar 2009 – A new multi-lingual TV channel will open in Azerbaijan. This was told to APA by the Chairman of the National Television and Radio Council Nushiravan Maharramli. The new television will be named “Azerbaijan International”. Programs and news will be broadcast in English, Russian, Persian, Turkish, and Armenian languages.
Noting that NTRC will conduct a meeting in connection with the new television, N. Maharramli stated that the frequency for the TV to be broadcast on has not been identified yet.
