    Armenian media chief critical of UK firm's survey ahead of
    presidential polls



    Yerevan, 14 February: President of the Yerevan Press Club (YPC) Boris
    Navasardyan today cast doubt on the report of the British ECHO
    Research Company, prepared following the results of a media
    monitoring in Armenia during the first week of the election campaign.


    Speaking at a news conference in Yerevan today, Boris Navasardyan
    noted that "seven days is a quite short period for determining the
    degree of objectiveness and independence of the Armenian media".
    Besides, he noted, the used indicators of the research do not give
    basis to argue that the given data are unambiguous.

    Boris Navasardyan stated that the ECHO Research held a mixed analysis
    of the broadcast and print media of Armenia, "which radically differ
    as to the degree of independence and freedom".

    "We repeatedly noted that the newspapers are freer from the
    authorities' pressures than the electronic media, and one cannot
    compare these two completely different types of media. This is the
    same thing as mixing oranges with pears," the YPC president stated.
