Azerbaijan TV signal reaches north of Karabakh

The Teleradio Production Association of the Azerbaijan Ministry of Communications and Information Technologies says that its television relay now covers the front-lines of Aghdam, Barda and Tartar in the Aran zone of the Karabakh, the ministry said on Monday.

This has become possible since the commissioning of a new television station which also covers the northern part of the Nagorno-Karabakh, the Ministry added.

The region was covered by Teleradio production association signal in early October 2011.This became possible after the commissioning of new digital equipment installed on the 92-metre Agsu television tower. It sits at an altitude of 864 metres on the Agsu pass.

The conflict between the two South Caucasus countries began in 1988 when Armenia made territorial claims against Azerbaijan. Armenian armed forces have occupied 20 per cent of Azerbaijan since 1992, including the Nagorno-Karabakh region and seven surrounding districts.
