The Head of the Yerevan Media Club stated that there is a great
difference of the broadcasting the activities of the participants
and the electoral campaign, which is not a positive thing. And,
from this point of view, the parties have been separated in 4 groups.

Karapetyan, has been much broadcasted and forms the first group. The
fact that the People's Party leads is determined by the ALM TV channel,
which belongs to Tigran Karapetyan. The coalition parties Republican,
BHK, OYP and the ARF Dashnaktsutyun form the second group; in addition,
the ARF Dashnaktsutyun was in the centre of the attention thanks to
the Yerkir Media TV. The HAK is in the third group, which has been
less broadcasted that the members of the other groups, because it did
not have any TV channels which would have a special liking towards
the party. In case, as Boris Navasardyan stated, Shant, Armnews, H
2 had a special liking towards the Republican Party and the Kentron
TV channels likes the BHK very much, and the ARF Dashnaktsutyun was
the favorite of the Yerkir Media TV.
