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--
