Military parade in Yerevan boosted Baku event publicity – expert September 26, 2011 - 15:49 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Yerevan-hosted military parade, dedicated to the 20th anniversary of the Republic of Armenia, factually, helped increase Azeri military parade’s publicity. As the head of Sociometer sociological center Aharon Adibekyan told a news conference in Yerevan, in June, Baku military parade was covered by only 98 English-language websites; however, the figure shot up to 830 after the Yerevan-hosted event. “On September 21, 850 English- and 400 Russian-language media outlets referred to a parade in Yerevan. The event was mentioned by Azeri media as well, though only to persuade local population of the advantage of Azeri armed forces over those of Armenia,” the expert noted. However, the expert believes that Armenia’s demonstration of weaponry during the parade was inadvisable, as the country failed to consider the interests of the third country, Russia, in the process.
