Re: Armenia and the information war
Turkish journalist misinterpreted?
The visit paid to Nagorno-Karabakh by Nagehan Alcı, a reporter of the Turkish Aksam newspaper, caused a stir. She even became a persona non grata in Azerbaijan because of her interview with the Artsakh TV. On returning, she wrote an article, telling the truth.
“I have been in Stepanakert since last Friday, the capital of Nagorno-Karabakh. Azerbaijanis calls it Hankendi. The next morning I was invited to give an interview to the Artsakh TV. I thought my refusal would be misinterpreted. So I agreed. They asked me what was my opinion on that region. I answered: ‘As we can see only Armenians are residing here, and the authorities are formed of Armenians as well.’”
“I did not say anything about the past, about the history of that region. Why should I make any comments I came to study? My interview was televised. The next morning everybody recognized me in the street. The following day, however, things turned out a different way. In a day my e-mail was full of hundreds of messages. All of them were from my friends in Azerbaijan. At first I could not understand what the matter was. Later, I found out that many Armenian websites had misinterpreted my words. It turned out that I had said that ‘Karabakh [was] one hundred per cent Armenian land’ Azerbaijani and Russian mass media got that. As a result I caused an international crisis.”

Re: Armenia and the information war
Compare the Armenian cemetery of Jugha and the Azerbaijani cemetery of Agdam

“Armenians are barbarously destroying Garaji cemetery in Azerbaijan’s occupied Agdam region,” representative of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan declared a few days ago.
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of the Nagorno Karabakh Republic has already issued a statement on this occasion, saying that” Polukhov’s statements can be evaluated as a regular attempt to cast a shade on the Nagorno Karabakh Republic and draw the international community’s attention away from the vandalism organized systematically by the Baku authorities, in particular, the destruction of the primarily Armenian Narimanov cemetery in Baku on the pretext of building a highway, or the recent destruction of khachkars (cross stones) in Old Jugha in Nakhichevan where no military activities took place.”
According to Samvel Karapetyan, head of Research on Armenian Architecture NGO, this is a usual policy of Azerbaijan to conceal its own barbarity and crimes. Maybe, in Azerbaijan’s logic, the loss of two damaged gravestones of a Soviet-times cemetery can be considered barbarity as compared to the destruction of the thousands of crossstones of the millennia-old Jugha cemetery.
According to the same Azerbaijani logic, Armenians that have liberated their own motherland are called occupants.
The false alarm of our neighbors made Samvel Karapetyan recall the real barbarities not only in Nakhijevan, but also in other regions under Azerbaijani control. Because of well-known reasons, it’s nearly impossible to find information about the Armenian monuments of those regions, Samvel Karapetyan said.

Re: Armenia and the information war
Armenian servicemen never shelled civilians
23.11.2009 12:47 GMT+04:00
/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The ceasefire was violated at the contact line between NKR and Azerbaijani armed forces on November 21, 22 and 23, NKR Defense Ministry said in a statement.
The Ministry refuted Azerbaijani media reports about a killed civilian. “The information disseminated by Azerbaijan is untrue. It’s nothing but a canard of Azerbaijani propaganda machine,” it said.

Azerbaijan is offended by ‘Euronews’ for “pro-Karabakh” report
The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan is upset over a Euronews TV broadcast on Nagorno-Karabakh, in which the self-proclaimed republic was referred to as “a real Armenian region”.
The program aired last week, prompting a protest from the Azeris who wrote a letter to the France-based network accusing it of a “one-sided portrayal of the situation in Nagorno-Karabakh.”
The report by presenter Michael Raikhman “Nagorno-Karabakh: Wind of Change”, included comments by Armenian studies Professor Bernard Coulie in which he said: “Karabakh is a fascinating region which has very much the same culture as Armenia. We are in a real Armenian region with a Christian background, which is very important. We are in the heart of Armenia but not in a political sense. That is also very interesting.”
Official Baku took issue, too, with the report identifying Bako Sahakyan as President of the Republic of Nagorno-Karabakh. (Azerbaijan, and most international bodies, maintain that NKR remains a disputed enclave of Azerbaijan and that its government is illegitimate.)
As Azeri Trend News Agency reports, the Foreign Ministry of Azerbaijan assigned a commission at the Embassy of Azerbaijan to France to investigate the reasons of the occurrence of such a news coverage on Euronews.
Euronews TV, founded in 1993, broadcasts in 135 countries, with an estimated 248 million viewers.

Re: Armenia and the information war
i didnt know where to add this, stumbled upon it by accident but pretty funny
Man revenge rapes son’s rapist
An Azerbaijani man has come up with an unorthodox way of getting even with a pedophile who raped his son. He tracked down the rapist, sexually assaulted him on camera, and distributed the footage.
While investigating a case of underage pornography distribution, the police of Azeri capital Baku stumbled upon a bewildering case of vigilantism, writes aysor.am news site citing local media reports.
The story began in October 2009 when a 17-year-old Garadag district-dweller lured an unsuspecting eight-year-old boy into his KamAZ truck, beat him up and raped him. A passerby then got into the truck and threatened to make the boy’s misery public, and then raped the boy himself.
Learning about the crime, the victim’s father, along with a group of relatives, tracked down the first rapist and revenge-raped him – all the while filming the event on a camera phone.
The footage was then distributed throughout the Azeri capital, which was how the police learned about the story. Now, both rapists and the vigilante are in custody facing charges of “sexual offences against minors” and “group sexual offence conducted with prior collusion”.
