Baku Suggests Launching Nation-Wide Information Campaign

PanARMENIAN.Net - The war between Azerbaijan and Armenia takes place not only at the contact line of fire, but also in the information space. From time to time and sometimes regularly both countries commit diversion and implement campaigns to provoke the adversary and convey their truth on the developments to the international community. There is a huge number of examples of Azerbaijan's defeat in information war against Armenia, writes the Zerkalo, a Baku-based newspaper.



Another matter is who is guilty of it, the newspaper asks. «Undoubtedly, the state structures of Azerbaijan are guilty first of all, e.g. the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the State Committee on Affairs of Azerbaijanis Abroad. The Ministry and the Committee should think over campaigns and work out their implementation.



«What do our Embassies do to disseminate the truth on the Armenian-Azeri relations throughout the world? Judging from the scarce information, received by Azerbaijan, our Embassies «do not suffer» special activity. The same is true of the Diaspora,» the Zerkalo writes.



The article authors see a solution as follows, «All state structures, NGOs, political parties, citizens and all others, who care for the image of our country, should start a nation-wide campaign conditionally called Azerbaijan Starts Winning.» As initial actions the newspaper recommends providing all international structures with lists of cultural and historic values, which remained in the «occupied» territories and attain monitoring of their state. At that the newspaper underscores it is not «infected» with the idea that all agitation of history and culture of Azerbaijan should be of anti-Armenian nature.
