  • Tariffs For Paid Broadcast of Preelection Campaign Are Rather High

    TARIFFS FOR PAID BROADCAST OF PREELECTION CAMPAIGN ARE RATHER HIGH,
    WHICH GENERATES COMPETITION, OYP VICE-CHAIRMAN DECLARES


    YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 9, NOYAN TAPAN. The price for one minute of paid
    broadcast on Public Television, 80 thousand drams (nearly 222 USD)
    within the framework of preelection campaign is rather high. Mher
    Shahgeldian, RA National Assembly Orinats Yerkir (Country of Law)
    faction member, OYP Vice-Chairman expressed such opinion at the
    February 9 press briefing. He said that high tariffs generate
    competition, "as here we deal with not political approaches, not
    ideas, not program principles, but financial problem." The MP assured
    that OYP will use all legal possibilities for agitation campaign, but
    found it difficult to say in advance how much it will use paid
    broadcast. In M. Shahgeldian's words, OYP "is a political force
    financed with participation of its members" and it does not receive
    any financing from outside.
