During the last three days, the Tajik media holding Oriyono Media has sent three official letters addressed to the State enterprise Tajikteleradiocom. Rustam Joni, director of the media holding expresses concern over the termination of broadcasting of Imrouz, a private radio station belonging to Oriyono Media.

Rustam Joni told the Asia Plus news agency that thousands of radio listeners do not have access to information, and the radio company is bearing losses – because of negligence of Tajikteleradiocom, the State communication facility in charge of dissemination of radio frequencies.

“Nonfulfillment of duties has led to violation of Tajikistan’s Law on “Printing and other mass media”, — said Joni. — In case of failure to renew broadcasting of Radio Imrouz, we reserve the right to file a charge against the enterprise. This muddle causes ridiculous rumors and allegations among the population regarding the silence of our radio station”.

In the meantime, Faizullo Salikhov, technical director of Tajikteleradiocom told Asia Plus that the allegations of the founder of Imrouz regarding delinquencies by the State agency are ungrounded.

Radio Imrouz founded in 2007, broadcasts at the frequency of 107,6 FM in Dushanbe, Kurgan-Tube, Tursunzade and Vakhdat.
