Paper: RPA candidates boycott Yerkir Media and Kentron TV?
April 14, 2012 - 10:56 AMT
PanARMENIAN.Net - Candidates of the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA)
boycotted Yerkir Media and Kentron TV channels; they did not provide
their campaign advertisements to these companies.
Hraparak paper's reporter tried to find out the reason of this boycott
with deputy chief of RPA headquarters, MP David Harutyunyan.
`This is not a boycott; this is called media planning. Resources are
very limited, and quite expensive as well, so we should plan the most
efficient way [of propaganda], which we in fact did,' Harutyunyan
replied.
So, you mean to say that RPA lacks financial resources for its
campaign broadcast, the reporter asked. `No, the limit of AMD 100 mln
is set by the Electoral Code; and we must pick a policy which is
effective,' RPA representative said.
When asked by Hraparak whether there is some political motive behind
all this, since the mentioned TV companies belong to ARF
Dashnaktsutyun and Prosperous Armenia parties, the MP said: `No, here
the matter of efficiency is concerned; we analyze which is the most
efficient way [for campaign].'
