BAKU FIGHTS AN ILLITERATE MEDIA WAR WITH ARMENIA – EXPERT
YEREVAN, March 13. /ARKA/. Baku is waging an illiterate media war
against Armenia, as it is not aware of special features of the Armenian
people, expert on South Caucasus geopolitics Anzhela Elibegova said.
According to Elibegova, Azerbaijanis’ fault is that they prepare
disinformation in line with their own criteria, with no consideration
given to the specific Armenian perception aspects.
“Azerbaijanis’ perception of the real picture of our society is
inaccurate,” Elibegova said in her interview to Sputnik-Armenia radio.
Yet, according to the expert, despite general literacy of the Armenian
audience, certain readers believe and share the disinformation spread
by the Azerbaijani side, she said, as cited by Novosti-Armenia.
Elibegova stressed the global mass media’s coverage of Karabakh
conflict has drastically changed, and Armenia’s stance is now presented
along with that of Azerbaijan, due to increased influence of the
Armenian Diaspora.
“Media efforts aiming at exposing Azerbaijani disinformation are
seen in various European countries,” she said. Before, according to
Elibegova, the Armenian communities abroad did not pay much attention
to Armenian-Azerbaijan problems.
“It will be painful for the Azerbaijani side to see Artsakh appear
in the global community not indirectly, but directly, both in terms
of tourism and culture,” Velibegova said adding these sectors are
rapidly developing in Karabakh. -0–
