Հայաստանից մի քանի բլոգերներ կան որոնք այսպիսի գործով զբաղված են արդեն։ Բայց վատ չեր լիներ եթե մեզանից համակարգիչի ծրագրավորողներ նրանց օգնեն մեկ մեկ։

Re: Armenia and the information war

Impersonation/deliberate misinformation must be against some information laws on the net, such bogus sites can be reported and action taken against them with discredit to the originator, it does happen.
Hacking them would be another good move as well.

I had to post this

Armenians 'want to live' in tranquility

Text size:

'I expect success from Sochi meeting of the presidents'.
The statement came from chairman of the Azerbaijani community of Nagorno Karabakh Bayram Safarov.

Drawing attention to hard living conditions of Armenian people from social-economic standpoint, Safarov noted that in contrast, living conditions in Azerbaijan were high:

'Armenians see it and they also want to live in peace and tranquility. Armenians from Nagorno-Karabakh regret that they are outside of Azerbaijan. They will support Azerbaijani government at the first opportunity. Those Armenians who lived in Nagorno Karabakh till 1992 may live in Azerbaijan by having ID card of Azerbaijani Republic and respecting the laws of Azerbaijan. And who do not want, let them live in Armenia'.

Safarov said that Nagorno Karabakh Community was always ready to meet with Armenian community.

Then blame the Azeri for hacking Armenian sites.
Could be pretty good propaganda.

“War” for Yerevan launched in Google Maps

Azerbaijanis are trying to change the name of Armenia’s capital in Google Maps service replacing Yerevan by Erivan.

They managed to change it about two weeks ago when a Turkish variant (Erivan) appeared instead of the real name of Armenia’s capital, Yerevan.

Vardan Grigoryan, moderator of the Armenian Google Technology User Group, said “map struggle” has long history. Azerbaijanis managed to change the real name for several times, as each Google user is allowed to send a request to moderators to make certain changes in geographic names. The request has to be confirmed by a chief moderator. Confirmation of the right variant sent by huge number of users would contribute to making decision by moderators. This can be done, for instance, via social networking websites.

“Azerbaijani map-makers write Erivan, while Armenians delete it replacing by real name (Yerevan),” he told the Armenian News-NEWS.am Innovation correspondent.

Grigoryan stressed requests to delete wrong information had been already sent to the Google moderators. Once they are confirmed, the right variant will be written.

They managed to change it to Erivan. They are done with changing Artsakh names to azeri, now it is time for Armenia. These idiots take history falsification to a whole new level.

Re: Armenia and the information war

It's at a state level. You have state funded organisations that work on all day doing these type of things. It's not only some azeri nationalists in their basement...As our government is not as schizophrenic as theirs to fund such things, we need to take more initiative

Re: Armenia and the information war

Looks like Iran is hitting back at Azerbaijan by releasing articles such as this one, trying to stir sh!t up in the country. Tut-tut-tut IRAN? )))

Azerbaijan, next to brace for revolt?


Speculations by political experts suggest Azerbaijan could be the next Muslim-majority nation to voice grievances against the US-backed government in Baku.

An article published by the Newsweek on Sunday points out concerns among Western decision-makers on the possible outcome of Arab uprisings in the Middle East, intensified by the prospect that similar unrest could overtake other parts of the globe.

“This is like Eastern Europe in the 1990s…You take the lid off, and you don't know what's going to happen,” a senior US intelligence official was cited in “When Strongmen Become Straw Men” as saying.

The article notices how a bronze statue of ousted Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak is being protected in a park in the middle of Azerbaijan's capital, Baku, whereas the dictator's rule in his homeland was toppled by a popular revolution.

A number of US media reports had earlier pointed to similar issues regarding the popular protests in Azerbaijan, but Azeri authorities have ruled out any analogy between the condition in the crisis-hit Arab nations and the status quo in the former Soviet republic.

Azerbaijan's Yeni Musavat newspaper wrote about recent popular gatherings in villages around the cities of Sabirabad and Saatli in protest at the government's failure to resolve problems caused by a flood in the region nine months ago.

Following the protests, the headquarters of the ruling New Azerbaijan Party in Sabirabad was torched and burned into ashes.

Political analysts described the move as a purposeful act by government agents, aiming to create an air of coercion and intimidation and pave the way to arrest opposition activists and protesters.

Azerbaijan has also been the scene of a series of rallies against the controversial issue of a hijab ban in the country, where nearly 98 percent of the people are Muslim.

Azerbaijan's Muslims also blame the growing secularism in the country on Tel Aviv and see Israel as being behind anti-Islamic programs during the Shia mourning month of Muharram and the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan.
