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.

“I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
