    Human Rights Defender of Armenia discontent with the coverage of the
    pre-election campaign by the Public TV

    February 8, 2008

    Yerevan /Mediamax/. Armenian Human Rights Defender Armen Harutiunian
    sated today that he is discontent with the coverage of the pre-election
    campaign of the Public TV (PTV).

    Mediamax reports that Armen Harutiunian stated that the Public TV does
    not secure pluralism of opinions and demonstrates certain bias towards
    certain presidential candidates.

    The Ombudsman expressed hope that his statement will influence the
    further work of the PTV, and the marked phenomena will be corrected in
    the nearest future.

    Armen Harutiunian stated that all the candidates in their own way
    deserve to become the President of the country, however, the society
    should choose the most worthy candidate, who will be able to take upon
    himself the responsibility for the future of Armenia. The Human Rights
    Defender condemned the efforts to gain victory during the coming
    elections by illegal means, noting that `a person, who distributes
    pre-election bribes, will not be able to be a guarantor of democratic
    society'.
