Yerevan Press Club President Boris Navasardyan said the debates are
lowly assessed in the media programs.

He said so in a press conference today. According to the results
of a monitoring, in the course of ten days, candidates or their
representatives participated in such programs only 28 times. In
Navasardyan’s assessment, this indicator is even low than the result
reported on January 21 to 30.

Navasardyan also spoke about the monitoring conducted by international
Ecoforum. "We believe the print media and that the electronic media
act differently in Armenia and to monitor them together was an obvious
mistake," he said.

>From January 31 to February 9 Vahan Hovanisyan remains the leader in
gross volume of campaign material, followed by Arthur Baghdasaryan
and Levon Ter-Petrosyan. In the second ten day, the paid air is the
most attractive for the candidates at H1. H1 is followed by Armenia,
ALM, Shant, H2, Yerkir Media and Kentron. The least attractive is
the air on the public radio.
