“Forgotten Victims of a Frozen Conflict” Euronews reportage dated February 1, 2010, goes contrary to journalist ethics, said the chairman of the NKR committee on external relations.

“A media like Euronews should offer the opinion of both sides in the conflict. Meanwhile, the Azerbaijani communities in Europe made Euronews broadcast a one-sided reportage,” Vahram Atanesyan told PanARMENIAN.Net.

“There are refugees from Baku and Sumgait in Karabakh and I regret that their voice was not heard in Europe. The Armenian side should undertake adequate propagandistic measures to inform the international community about Armenian refugees,” he said.

The conflict between Nagorno Karabakh and Azerbaijan broke out in 1988 as result of the ethnic cleansing the latter launched in the final years of the Soviet Union. The Karabakh War was fought from 1991 to 1994. Since the ceasefire in 1994, sealed by Armenia, NKR and Azerbaijan, most of Nagorno Karabakh and several regions of Azerbaijan around it (the security zone) remain under the control of NKR defense army. Armenia and Azerbaijan are holding peace talks mediated by the OSCE Minsk Group up till now.
