    Ahead of the February presidential elections, the head of the Yerevan
    Press Club (YPC) has proposed airing live televised debates in an
    effort to make the campaign more competitive.

    "It would be advisable for the Public Television to be the first to
    propose such an initiative, but we also welcome a similar idea by
    private [TV channels]," Boris Navasardyan told a news conference on
    Wednessday.

    In a statement, the YPC highlights the importance of televised
    debates, considering it an effective platform in terms of promoting a
    diversity of opinions and competitiveness.

    Speaking of the candidates, Navasardyan said that they all - including
    those with less publicity - now have enough opportunities to make
    public appearances for introducing themselves.

    "But introducing themselves is not enough. Analysis, unbiased
    evaluations and impartial comments are important as well," he added.

    The YPC president said more than 13 NGOs have joined their statement,
    adding that they expect more organizations' involvement till the
    voting day.
