Armenia concerned over expansion of Azerbaijan’s information coverage abroad

Mon 10 January 2011
Deputy, political analyst Rasim Musabeyov has commented on Azerbaijan’s success in the information warfare with Armenia and its diaspora.

'I would say this is not the information war, it is rather Azerbaijan’s bringing the truth about the regional processes, the Karabakh conflict and Azerbaijan's history to the attention of the world community. Thus, we also break the world's deep-seated image of the "victim" and "suffering" of Armenians. On the basis of real facts Azerbaijan starting bringing to the attention of the international community the truth about the Armenian nationalism and aggression against Azerbaijan, Armenia claims on the territory of neighboring countries', said Musabeyov.

"Azerbaijan is actively using the world's leading media and television for bringing its position and the truth about the regional processes. The interest of foreign media and TV channels in Azerbaijan is growing, because the development and success of our country attract attention of different countries. It is also important that Azerbaijan and other countries hold different events at the initiative of Azerbaijan", said the analyst.

'The Armenian side was very concerned about the expansion of the information coverage of Azerbaijan abroad. Armenia and its diaspora often say that the Armenian side is losing the information warfare with Azerbaijan. However, I believe that we should not relax and be satisfied with the level reached in this matter; we should not forget that the Armenian diaspora has considerable resources and links', said Musabeyov.
