    POLIRIZED ATTITUDE OBSERVED TOWARDS SERGE SARGSIAN AND LEVON TER-PETROSIAN DURING PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN

    Feb 6, 2008

    YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 6, NOYAN TAPAN. The campaign of the candidates
    running for the post of the RA President has essentially been equally
    covered during the period between January 21-30 by the 8 TV companies
    of Armenia: "H1", "ALM", "Armenia", "H2", "Yerkir Media", "Kentron",
    and "Shant". This statement was made by Boris Navasardian, the Chairman
    of the Yerevan Press Club, at the press conference held on February 6,
    introducing the results of the second stage of the observation of the
    coverage of the presidential elections being held by them. According
    to him, most of all Prime Mininster Serge Sargsian was covered
    during the above-mentioned period (29 442 seconds), and least of
    all Aram Haroutiunian, the Chairman of the National Agreement party
    (12 720 seconds).

    Boris Navasardian mentioned that except "Yerkir Media", a polirized
    attitude is observed towards Serge Sargsian and Levon Ter-Petrosian
    and a proportional impartiality towards the other candidates in the
    materials broadcast by the other TV channels. Thus, 93 out of the
    99 mentionings dedicated to the Prime Mininster were positive and 6
    negative, as regards Levon Ter-Petrosian, there were 72 negative and
    no positive mentionings.

    Moreover, according to the Chairman of the Yerevan Press Club,
    particularly two public TV channels are striking with partiality. He
    mentioned that the "Kentron" TV Channel, in particular, arrests one's
    attention with its negative coverages dedicated to the first President
    of the Republic of Armenia. All this allows Boris Navasardian to
    assume that, at present, the political struggle is sharper than it
    was during the parliamentary elecions.

    According to the results of the observation, the index of the
    participation of the presidential candidates in the debating programs
    of mass media is still low, which is conditioned by the circumstance
    that they are not so much ready for a public dialogue.
