Baku. Victoria Dementyeva–APA. The United States is deeply concerned by reports that Azerbaijan’s National Television and Radio Council may discontinue local radio broadcasts of international media, including Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty (RFE/RL), the Voice of America (VOA) and the BBC. The United States asked to clarify the situation, APA reports quoting the US State Department’s web-site. “The Chairman of Azerbaijan’s National Television and Radio Council (NTRC) said on October 31, that foreign broadcasts on frequencies controlled by the government of Azerbaijan may cease in 2009â€.
