    AGAINST XENOPHOBIA WITH MASS MEDIA

    Today the two-day conference organized by the South Caucasian countries,
    Russia and UNESCO with the theme «For the sake of tolerance, against
    discrimination and xenophobia in the context of combat against international
    terrorism» finished in Yerevan. At the end of the day a joint declaration
    was adopted which was read by the RA ombudsman Larissa Alaverdyan.

    In the declaration a special place was given to the Mass Media, as according
    to the lawyers from different countries, the combat against encroachments
    against national minorities or xenophobia between nations will be efficient
    only with proper work of the MM.

    Ombudsman Larissa Alaverdyan was surprised at the highlighting of the
    international conference. Her working group had informed almost all the MM
    in Armenia, but for the past two days 2-3 journalists were present at the
    event.

    «I think this is surprising for our guests too. I expected more interest
    towards our conference. Our authorities take active participation in all the
    international events. In this connection the passiveness of the journalists
    was surprising as it ought to have been vice versa», commented Alaverdyan to
    «A1+».

    Let us also remind you that a non-official representative of Azerbaijan was
    also present at the conference. He had been in friendly relations with
    Armenian colleagues, and to day conducted the event with fluent Russian.

    At the end of the day Azeri Jiansha Omarov apologized to the Ombudsman's
    working group for refusing to visit Tsitsernakaberd with the other
    participants of the conference «for a well-known reason».
