Baku becomes more intense in war, for now it is the information war
Baku becomes more intense in war, for now it is the information war
The world, the same Azerbaijan and Armenia too have become so used to Baku's strategy, that a single new portal will change nothing.

The Azeri propaganda machine has now started to function through the new web-site called IREVAN. The way it is called already speaks of the fact that the capital of Armenia Yerevan in the neighboring state is called “Irevan”, and consequently it may not be Armenian, like there is no Armenia, but Western Azerbaijan in the Azeri history books, which “sooner or later will reunite with the motherland”. The most interesting thing is that the name comes in Persian interpretation, but such trifles have long stopped bothering anyone in Baku. What must be paid attention to is that the “truth” about Armenia is disseminated through internet, and that is in two languages; in Armenian and Russian.
/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The site is created by the information-analytical center “Irevan”, which has been functioning in Baku since 2006. According to the head of the center Sabir Erivanli, the main aim of the Center is the study of the Armenian-Azerbaijani relations and the problems in the field: “The idea of creating the Internet portal was born by the fact that Armenian speaking internet users have so far had the chance to get information about the problems of the region only in the light of the Armenian point of view. Starting from today they will be given the opportunity to learn about the viewpoints of both parties on the same problems and issues. The sites in Armenian will interest not only the Armenian speaking citizens of the neighboring Republic, but also for all the Armenian speaker people spread all over the world, including the Azeri region of Nagorno-Karabakh”. In short, this site is created for Armenia and for the Armenian Diaspora. Perhaps, there will be a godforsaken place, where Russian and Armenian languages are spoken, where the articles provided by some unknown and unauthorized people will be read it would be thought that “Azerbaijan is on a right path”.
We should not stay indifferent to the issue, for Armenia may lose the information war that has launched. The initiators of the site are well aware of the situation in Armenia. Moreover, it is predicted that they will strongly advertise the candidacy of the first President of Armenia Levon Ter-Petrosyan for the upcoming Presidential Elections in Armenia scheduled in March. It is understandable, for the ex-President has always said and done what has been quite pleasing to the opposite party until he was sent in his resignation. There is no guarantee that he has changed and his words of September 21st about the necessity of opening the borders with Turkey and Azerbaijan serve as a proof. Levon Ter-Petrosyan is hardly ignorant of the fact that the border was closed by Turkey… The heading “Who is Who in Armenia” wrote about the Armenian ex-President; “Levon Ter-Petrosyan is rather principled, and besides he often gets under the influence of the surrounding. Is partially indecisive, often avoids taking strict measures against his opponents, partially isolated from the Armenian reality. In spite of his popularity among the city intellectuals, L. Ter-Petrosyan could never repair his relations with the lower social strata and there was the opinion that he avoids the representatives of the province.”
16 biographies, which could be written only in Armenia, have already been published. Could this mean that the site has co-operators in Yerevan? Let us bring two more examples; “Vano Siradeghyan (RA former Minister of Home Affairs) is very determined, rather principled, always ready to pursue his viewpoint, uncompromising, doesn't avoid open confrontations with his opponents, is loyal to his alleys, (he fought till the last breath for L.Ter-Petrosyan). He doesn't avoid taking extreme measures to accomplish his political goals. He enjoys the reputation of a generous person, has always been more attentive to the poor and has been involved in charity. At the same time he is a little contradicting, hot-tempered and emotional, unable to hide his negative attitude to certain people. He isn't a man of good manners and often is rather rude with people. Anyone who shares the values and opinions of those from Dashnaktsutiun he considers to be betrayers.”
The truth is though that things are not as bad as we could think. The world, the same Azerbaijan and Armenia too have become so used to Baku's strategy, that a single new portal will change nothing.
