PanARMENIAN.Net - The election campaign was monotonous, inconsequent
and even passive, Nvard Melkonian, head of SPRING PR company told
journalists on May 2.
Expert in political technologies Karen Kocharyan shares his colleague's
viewpoint saying opposition candidate Nikol Pashinyan's 30-second
statement was the most successful one in this campaign, which, however,
the Armenian National Congress failed to use it properly.
"This was one of the best moves in this campaign, I think," Kocharyan
said stated.
According to the expert, the election silence preceding the voting
day will be the most active day of the campaign, and parties "will be
much active in silently distributing the money [for electoral bribes]".
Experts claim that TV broadcasting was quite free during the election
campaign. TV demonstrated "openness never seen for the past 20 years;
all mass media were open", according to them.
"We've never had so many open platforms, and not only on TV, during
the past years. One just needs to make use of it," Melkonyan said.
