/PanARMENIAN.Net/ "Armenia has not lost information war to
Azerbaijan. But I should mention some factors.

We are not losing the information war, for most part thanks to
information resources and Diaspora’s efforts. However, we lack state
information policy. We often run after events instead of pursuing
a preemptive tactic," member of the Armenian National Assembly’s
committee on European integration, political scientist Armen Ashotyan
said in an interview with PanARMENIAN.Net.

"There is no coordination between analytical centers and political
leadership. Furthermore, we underestimate the importance of Internet
and act as amateurs. Both Armenia and Azerbaijan say that we are
neighbors and there is no escape from each other but both pursue a
policy that leads to abyss," he said.
