Rashad Rzakuliyev The Euronews report on Karabakh is part of the
information war between Armenia and Azerbaijan, political scientist
Rashad Rzakuliyev has said.
The report presents the history and culture of the region solely in
terms of Armenian myth and bears no relation to the true situation,
Rzaguliyev told 1news.az.
He said that there was no need to get too excited about this.
"We should look at the methods used by our enemies who have occupied
20% of our land, take them into account and do the same. Azerbaijan
should intensify its efforts to advocate our principles, our ideas,
our understanding of the situation and work with Euronews, CNN,
the BBC and other TV channels on this issue. This requires money and
contacts. If we treat this issue seriously, all doors will open for
us," Rzakuliyev said,
He said that the Armenian diaspora is backing the film. "I am sure
that this is one of the elements of the information war in an attempt
to legitimize Nagorno Karabakh as a ‘state formation’," he said.
The analyst believes that the religious factor does not play any
role here.
"On the contrary, it is Armenians that stress the religious factor
in an attempt to appeal to Christian solidarity, but in reality
Europe treats this issue more coldly than the Armenians would like,"
Rzakuliyev said.
