Candidates who do not pretend to win the elections, nevertheless, were
in the center of media attention. This is correct tactics, member of
the observer mission of International expert Center for Electoral
Systems (ICES), Estonian journalist and political scientist Nikolay
Meynert told a news conference in Yerevan.

Mr Meynert said he was surprised at the absence of televised debates
between candidates, but added that it should not be considered as a
major negative factor.

The ICES observers have met with the candidates because it is very
important for forming an idea about the election campaign atmosphere,
the observer said.
