    ALEXANDER ISKANDARYAN: ARMENIAN SOCIETY CREATES PROBLEMS FOR ITSELF

    /PanARMENIAN .Net/ "I believe we're very passive as a society and as
    journalists. Just look at the number of materials published by Armenian
    media. I mean not their own materials, but those published in Azeri
    or Turkish media," Eurointegration Social Organization Chairman,
    Karen Bekaryan told a news conference. According to him, Armenian
    journalists always miss out on important factor: information streams or
    "information wars" play crucial role in international relations. "We
    don't even realize that we are willingly or, perhaps, on our own
    initiatives, contributing to the interests of the opposite party,"
    stated Bekaryan, citing the incident when the road map agreement
    was published in Sabah Turkish newspaper. "Someone reprinted the
    material and the public was wondering whether the information is
    reliable. Yet, we'd never undertake such a step towards Turkish
    society. Still, we're forgetting that we're at informational and
    psychological war." Alexander Iskandaryan , Caucasus Institute
    Director begged to disagree, stating that the problem lies in the
    state the society is in. "Armenian society is currently in a state
    where it could turn any event into a problem. Afterwards, articles
    start to appear in the media, saying that we've once again "sold"
    the Krabakh. This reflects the state of society but not the state of
    journalists. Journalists are just allowing themselves to be run by
    the society," Armenian politologist stated.
