Zhoghovurd: Discussing important political problems in talk show is good initiative
A new reality show to present the campaigns of Yes and No fronts ahead of the constitutional reform referendum starts on Armenian television today, according to ‘Zhoghovurd’ paper.
Speeches of politicians and civic activists who oppose and support the constitutional amendments will be broadcast live by ArmNews and A1+ television companies. Groups set up for that purpose traveled to regions yesterday to conduct a campaign there for 20 days. Live programs will last 12-14 hours, while recorded programs will be shown at night.
“This project is a novelty in Armenia. Of course, discussing important political problems in such a format is a good initiative, but, as usual, it is only partly good. The reason is that the main political forces making up ‘No’ front declined to participate in the project,” the paper says.
