Yerevan Press Club, Team Research Centre and the Open Society Institute
Assistance Foundation have monitored the Armenian television and
radio on the eve of the election campaign. Today they presented the
results of the November monitoring.

positive and 768 neutral. Only 10 reports about Levon Ter-Petrossian
