Candidates of the Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) boycotted Yerkir Media and Kentron TV channels; they did not provide their campaign advertisements to these companies.

Hraparak paper's reporter tried to find out the reason of this boycott with deputy chief of RPA headquarters, MP David Harutyunyan.

“This is not a boycott; this is called media planning. Resources are very limited, and quite expensive as well, so we should plan the most efficient way [of propaganda], which we in fact did,” Harutyunyan replied.

So, you mean to say that RPA lacks financial resources for its campaign broadcast, the reporter asked. “No, the limit of AMD 100 mln is set by the Electoral Code; and we must pick a policy which is effective,” RPA representative said.

When asked by Hraparak whether there is some political motive behind all this, since the mentioned TV companies belong to ARF Dashnaktsutyun and Prosperous Armenia parties, the MP said: “No, here the matter of efficiency is concerned; we analyze which is the most efficient way [for campaign].”
