Azeri propaganda insinuates stray shepherd is an Armenian diversionistSeptember 18, 2010 - 16:47 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Information presented in Azeri-made Youtube video, showing an interview with a so-called Armenian diversionist Manvel Saribekyan is untrue, Armenian Defense Ministry press service reported. “Manvel Saribekyan completed military service this year, and bears no relation to Armenian special service. An attempt to insinuate that a stray shepherd is an Armenian diversionist is just another primitive step by Azeri propaganda. The expertise proves the person on video was drugged into obedience, being induced to speak under physical and psychological pressure,” the ministerial statement said. “The video is another attempt by Azerbaijan to destabilize the situation on the line of contact, aiming to mislead the international community.” Characterizing the video as an overt violation of the norms of international law, Armenian Defense Ministry urged the international structures to give an adequate response to outrageous actions of Azerbaijan.
