HOW IMPARTIAL ARE THE ARMENIAN MASS MEDIA
How impartial are the Armenian mass media in illustrating the political events on the very eve of the presidential elections. the chief editors of "Azg", "Hayeli" and "Yerkrir" newspapers tried to find the answer to this question during the yesterday discussion at the "Urbat" club.
Vasak Darbinian, editor-in-chief of "Haylel, considers that speaking about impartiality is ridiculous, as unfair conditions are set against their candidate Levon Ter-Petrosian.
Editor-in-Chief of "Azg" Daily Hagob Avedikian noted that one part of the newspapers openly support Serge Sarkisian, and the other half - L. Ter-Petrosian.
"It appears that the most attention is paid to the election campaign of Ter-Petrosian. There is no civilized approach in information. Both the candidates, in some sense, have to solve the same the same dilemma - to be or not to be. With the little difference that Serge Sarkisian is trying to save hios own skin, realizing that he is to face serious problems in case of failing to become a president, and Levon Ter-Petrosian, whom we support openly both in 'Hayk' and 'Taregirk', is trying to save the country," stated Vasak Darbinian. He also declared that the National Television of Armenia is the main source of disinformation.
"The press is sick, and the disease is not a new one. Do not blame our society, as our press is not addressed to it. The society is in the worst conditions nowadays. Partial information is not information, that is why or society is not interested in it. The society suffers from this, and that affects the elections," said Mr. Avedikian.
"6 years ago was losed the 'A1+' TV-Channel. We would have quite a different TV company if it still existed," said "Hayk" editor-in-chief. Hagob Avedikian argued that in any case the situation would be the same and thesociety would be deprived of the opportunity of receiving correct information.
Answering whether, finally, the press spreads rather propaganda or information, Mr. Darbinian said that his reporters are given the opportunity to express themselves freely.
