Unlike the elections of 2007 and 2008, this time the elections were
skillfully organized and well imitated. They had elaborated a good
scenario and had all grounds to imitate that press gave free and
unbiased coverage of the elections. They really succeeded in their
endeavours, President of A1+ Company Mesrop Movsesyan told a press
conference on Friday.

Asked why media became so easy to control, Mr Movsesyan said, “The
first factor was the atmosphere of fear. Second, they pursued their own
interests and wanted to stay out of trouble and pressure. Finally, many
of them wanted to earn money in an easy way without extra problems.”
