Azerbaijani TV forbid showing French films and clips

The reason for making such decision was the adoption of bill by France Parliament which makes it crime to deny "false" Armenian genocide.

ANS vise-president Mir Shahin proved the fact. He said that ANS decided not to show the films and clips produced in this country after the adoption of the law. Azad Azerbaijan TV channel also stopped to show the films and clips.

Azad Azerbaijan TV Programs Department chief Elshen Dadashov said they did it to object to France Parliament's decision. Azerbaijan Television and Radio CJSC department Chief Fuad Velikhanov also said that they stopped to display French films and clips.

Lider TV News department Chief Veli Akbar told the APA that they have not made decisions yet and they do not consider displaying French films and clips according their plan.

Minije Jeferli, Space TV Programs department chief said that they made the plan of the programs before the bill was adopted so, they continue to show French films and clips. She said if TV authorities make decision about it they will stop showing.

Chingiz Aslanov, the assistant of Director of ITV said that they have never shown French films, APA reports.
