Arte TV French Arte TV channel restricts demonstration of film about
Karabakh in Internet.
According to a statement from the Azerbaijani embassy in France,
a documentary 'Nagorno Karabakh: Gomehassar' was demonstrated in
the series of programs 'All mountains of the world' on French Arte,
according to the news service for the Foreign Ministry of Azerbaijan.
The correspondents of the TV channel who visited the occupied Nagorno
Karabakh region of Azerbaijan illegally gave interview from local
residents who complained about the hard living conditions and voiced
hope for the soonest restoration of peace in the world.
Immediately after the demonstration of the film, the Azerbaijani
government has sent a letter of protest to the administration of the
Arte TV channel with the protest against covering the documentary
via mass media.
The response letter on behalf of the president of Arte TV channel
Jerom Cleman to the Azerbaijani diplomatic mission says that the
demonstration of programs from the series 'All mountains of the world'
does not aim at holding geopolitical propaganda, it is just aimed at
demonstration of the panorama and featuring traditions, mythology or
the development of local criteria of mountain regions of the world.
President of the Arte TV channel stressed the impossibility to cover
all aspects of the issue saying the film especially noted that this
self-proclaimed 'republic' has not been recognized by the international
community and the regime of temporary ceasefire is applied here. The
response letter says the documentary is not aimed at propaganda,
that he is aware of the official position of the French state and
that the issue of the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan is a very
sensitive topic.
After the operative interference of the embassy with this issue,
the French TV channel cancelled the repeated demonstration of the
documentary and restricted the demonstration of this film on Internet.
