Discussions on the recently published book "Nagorno Karabagh: Facts
Against Lie. Information-Ideological Aspects of the Nagorno Karabagh
Conflict" by Arsen Melik-Shakhnazarov took place at the NKR MFA.

NKR Deputy Foreign Minister Vardan Barseghian, NA Deputies,
experts, and MFA employees participated in the discussions. The
book was introduced by journalist and writer, activist of the
Karabagh National-Liberation Movement Maxim Hovhannisian who noted
the importance of Arsen Melik-Shakhnazarov’s work as documentary
description of NKR people’s struggle for self-determination in the
context of the information-propagandistic war unleashed by Azerbaijan.

In his turn, the book’s author emphasized that the Azerbaijani
propaganda created false stereotypes and distorted the gist of the
Karabagh conflict, due to which the truth about the conflict should
be introduced to the international community.

Translation of the book into the English and other languages was
recommended. The NKR MFA expressed its readiness to facilitate the
book’s translation and distribution.
