CLOSED ARMENIAN TV STATION LOSES FINAL APPEAL. Following a one-hour
hearing on 14 June, the Armenian Court of Appeals upheld an earlier
decision by the Economic Court to reject an appeal lodged by the
independent TV station A1+ against the outcome of an April tender
that awarded its frequency to a competitor, RFE/RL's Yerevan bureau
reported (see "RFE/RL Newsline," 2 and 26 April 2002). A1+'s owners,
who have consistently charged that the tender result was politically
motivated and intended to silence their criticism of the government,
said on 14 June they will take their case to the European Court of
Human Rights in Strasbourg. LF
