Armenian expert compares Baku propaganda politics to prostitute’s behavior

PanARMENIAN.Net - However weird it may seem there is no informational war between Armenia and Azerbaijan, an Armenian expert said.

According to Hrant Melik-Shahnazaryan, there is a virtual space created by Azerbaijan, where it “fights” against itself.

“That way Azeri are trying to convince their people that they have been victorious in that field as well, but in reality all they have been doing during the past six months is arguing the speeches and statements by Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan. That is to say the main goal of the Azerbaijani media is to refute statements made by the Armenian officials,” he said.

At the same time, Melik-Shahnazaryan noted that Azerbaijan is presently in a very complicated situation as it recently has been subject to criticism by the international organizations in terms of democracy and tolerance. “Meanwhile the information war with Iran is aggravating and the tense relations with Tehran. Moreover, relations with considerably worsened with Azerbaijan, Turkmenistan, Kazakhstan and Russia,” he noted.

The expert compared Baku’s propaganda to the behavior of a prostitute, as the government of the country declares that they are in good terms with many countries, however has failed to establish normal relations with at least one of them so far.
