DUSHANBE, December 19, 2012, Asia-Plus -- The Islamic Revival Party (IRP) of Tajikistan is seeking broadcasting license to operate its own TV and radio stations.
A source at IRP’s headquarters in Dushanbe says the party representatives submitted an application for registration of the IRP TV and radios stations for consideration to the Committee for TV and Radio-broadcasting on Tuesday, December 18.
“Our stations will cover the whole territory of the country,” said the source. “The application was submitted to Saidali Siddiqov, the first deputy head of the Committee for TV and Radio-broadcasting and we hope that our party will be the first political party in Tajikistan to have its own TV and radio stations.”
