    THE AZERBAIJANI MASS MEDIA HAVE ONCE AGAIN LOST THEIR WAY ...

    Azat Artsakh Newspaper
    December 25, 2009
    NKR

    The Azerbaijani mass media have once again lost their way in broad
    daylight, trying to depict the Karabakh party in an unfavourable
    light. During a day, the woman, who was killed on December 20, 2009
    on the NKR and Azerbaijani armed forces' contact-line first by an
    "Armenian" serviceman, then, as it was found out, by an Azerbaijani
    soldier, turned from an "Armenian woman" into an Azerbaijani one.

    Moreover, a photo of a Georgian woman made in August 2008 during the
    war in South Ossetia was attached to the information. The Azerbaijani
    mass media have practiced forgeries in their anti-Armenian propaganda
    for a long time. This was fixed not only by the Karabakh party. The
    Moscow edition New Region notes that the Azerbaijani mass media have,
    at least, three times used forgeries for the last three months,
    applying photomaterials of various countries for "proving the facts
    of the Armenian aggression". Besides the abovementioned forgery
    of the Azerbaijani Agency Vesti.az related to the killed woman,
    the edition notes as an example the distribution of a photo of a
    Georgian soldier killed in August 2008 "to confirm" the Karabakh
    party's losses allegedly taken place as a result of the NKR Defense
    Army units' attacking the Azerbaijani positions. In fact, everything
    was exactly the contrary. Besides, the Russian edition unmasked Trend
    Azerbaijani information agency, which had informed of the completion
    of a documentary about the Karabakh conflict, attaching a photo
    of alleged "victims of the Armenian aggression", which, in fact,
    turned out to be a photo of deceased citizens of Kosovo taken from
    a Canadian francophone website. This forgery related to the tragic
    events in Khojaly and placed at some Azerbaijani websites, including
    the one of the basic anti-Armenian misinformation center of the Heydar
    Aliyev Fund (www.azerbaijan.az), the leader of which is the Azerbaijani
    President's wife, was earlier diclosed by the NKR Foreign Ministry.

    We have to state once more that against the background of the
    proceeding meetings of the Armenian and Azerbaijani Presidents and
    the optimistic statements of the international mediators on certain
    progress in the Karabakh conflict settlement process, official Baku
    and its improvised mass media continue their aggressive information
    war against the RA and NKR, using all the means for introducing the
    Armenian parties as the misdeeds' actors and for injecting a new
    portion of Armenian-hatred poison into the international community's
    and their own people's mind. Unfortunately, this destructive policy of
    official Baku isn't properly assessed by corresponding international
    structures, which is fraught with nullifying the multiyear peacemaking
    efforts. "Democratic" Azerbaijan "integrating" into the West and its
    "independent" mass media should finally realize that freedom of speech
    is not freedom of misinformation. We hope that in the coming year,
    the international community will take the counterproductive actions
    of the Azerbaijani authorities more seriously.
