WHY DON’T JOURNALISTS GO TO KARABAKH
How do the Armenian media influence the Karabakh problem settlement?
Expert of the Armenian Center for National and International Studies Alvard
Barkudaryan is concerned over the fact that some media publish interviews
with minor political figures «just to fill their pages with information»,
thus doing more harm than good. «Such publications give the impression that
Karabakh is still a part of Azerbaijan. There are no broadcasts about
Karabakh, journalists do not go there, and moreover, they lack the
perception of Karabakh and of people living there’, Ms. Barkhudaryan says.
According to her, it was more or less understandable why journalists avoid
visiting military zone; to date such behavior is at least incomprehensible.
She is also concerned over the lack of professional analysts and censures
the journalists, who do not pay homage to the internal policy. «The
information being spread by some media at present is neither favorable nor
pro-Armenian», she resumed.
