NKR MFA: Russia Channel report on Karabakh cancelled over Azeri pressureNovember 14, 2008 - 18:21 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Journalists from the Russia TV Channel have paid a working visit to the Nagorno Karabakh Republic Recently to prepare a corresponding survey for the Vesti Nedeli program. The journalists prepared a commentary on the peaceful life and post-war rehabilitation of Nagorno Karabakh, and, at their request, the corresponding structures of NKR arranged meetings with official and public representatives of the Republic and organized visits to the institutions, enterprises, etc. However, as it turned out later, after the commentary was covered in the Far Eastern region of the Russian Federation, the coverage of the material was stopped in other regions, under the pressure of Azerbaijan, says a statement by the NKR Foreign Ministry."Who could dislike the fair survey on the peaceful life in the Nagorno Karabakh Republic? The answer is simple: Baku fears the truth about Nagorno Karabakh that for the years of its independence, the Republic has successfully solved all the issues and has progressively developed. It's absolutely inadmissible to use the situation in propagandistic purposes; the informational technologies that distort the core of the Nagorno Karabakh conflict should be necessarily rejected. Similar actions negatively affect, first of all, the Azerbaijani society, as deluding it on the Nagorno Karabakh issue Baku brings all the peacemaking initiatives to naught. Moreover, this absurd incident testifies that the leadership of the Russia Channel under the pressure of the Azerbaijani authorities displays "caution", ipso facto preventing the TV viewers of the Russian Federation from getting trustworthy information on the NKR and sets a sad example both to other TV channels and periodicals," the statement says. Top stories Authorities said a total of 192 Azerbaijani troops were killed and 511 were wounded during Azerbaijan’s offensive. In 2023, the Azerbaijani government will increase the country’s defense budget by more than 1.1 billion manats ($650 million). The bill, published on Monday, is designed to "eliminate the shortcomings of an unreasonably broad interpretation of the key concept of "compatriot".
