"Azeri media outlets do not always write the true story. It is simple
misinformation and our reporters often fall into that trap," Armen
Baghdasaryan, reporter of 168 Hour and Fourth Power newspapers, who
was press spokesman of the Armenian foreign minister in 1996-1997,
told a discussion on Karabakh conflict settlement.

Both Baghdasaryan and Armen Dulyan, reporter of RFE/RL, believe
Armenian reporters receive little information from official
sources. Baghdasaryan believes the authorities should provide
guidelines on what to write on Karabakh conflict. "It would not be
censorship and would not be obligatory," the reporter said.
