WHERE REPORTS ABOUT SERGE SARGSYAN ARE PREPARED

On February 8 at the National Press Club the press secretary of the
People’s Party of Armenia Ruzan Khachatryan presented her observation
of the coverage of the presidential race on TV, namely the coverage
of Serge Sargsyan’s election campaign. Ruzan Khachatryan says she
lives in Ajapniak community and she went to Serge Sargsyan rally in
this community later to compare it with the TV report. Ruzan
Khachatryan says she saw things in the report which did not take
place during the rally.

Ruzan Khachatryan says since events which did not take place are the
same in the reports of all the TV channels, which allows her to
state, also as a former TV reporter, that the footage is prepared
somewhere else and is later provided to the TV channels, therefore,
Serge Sargsyan’s TV reports are shown the next day of the rally.

Ruzan Khachatryan describes the presidential campaign as full of
unseen cynicism, when people are forced to go to the rallies of the
government’s candidate, students and teachers of schools and
universities are forced to attend those meetings. Ruzan Khachatryan
says things happen which are seldom found even in science fiction.
