It is said that the history of Armenian radio began with the reservation of the Yerevan dictionary: “With capitalism man exploits man, and with socialism everything happens the opposite.” After that, the radio station became the character of numerous anecdotes, beginning with the phrase "the Armenian radio is asked".

These anecdotes were so popular that the representatives of the real Armenian radio were uncomfortable. At the beginning of the 1970s, the All-Union Meeting of Radio and Television Workers was held in the Column Hall of the House of Unions in Moscow. When the chairman announced, "The word is given to the representative of the Armenian radio," there was such a whisper in the hall that the poor representative was not allowed to start the speech for a long time. When the laughter finally became a verse, the same representative took the microphone and said, “We are often asked...” They say, after that, the work of the meeting was completely paralyzed.
