WHY DID BAKU FRUSTRATE THE REPORTAGE ON NAGORNO-KARABAKH REPUBLIC

NKR MFA Information Department’s Commentary
Recently, journalists from the "Russia" channel have paid a working
visit to the Nagorno Karabakh Republic to prepare a corresponding
survey for the "Vesti Nedeli" program. The journalists prepared
a commentary on the peaceful life and post-war rehabilitation of
Nagorno Karabakh, and, at their request, the corresponding structures
of NKR arranged meetings with official and public representatives of
the Republic and organized visits to the institutions, enterprises,
etc. However, as it turned out later, after the commentary was covered
in the Far Eastern region of the Russian Federation, the coverage of
the material was stopped in other regions, under the pressure of the
Azerbaijani party.
Who could dislike the fair survey on the peaceful life in the Nagorno
Karabakh Republic? The answer is simple: Baku fears the truth about
Nagorno Karabakh that for the years of its independence, the Republic
has successfully solved all the issues and has progressively developed.
We consider it absolutely inadmissible to use the situation in
propagandistic purposes; the informational technologies that distort
the kernel of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict should be necessarily
rejected.
Similar actions negatively affect, first of all, the Azerbaijani
society, as deluding it on the Nagorno20Karabakh issue Baku brings
all the peacemaking initiatives to naught.
Moreover, this absurd incident testifies that the leadership of the
"Russia" channel under the pressure of the Azerbaijani authorities
displays "caution", ipso facto preventing the TV viewers of the
Russian Federation from getting trustworthy information on the NKR
and sets a sad example both to other TV channels and periodicals.
