Deconstructing the Azeri Propaganda War Against the Indigenous Armenian
Republic of Artsakh (Nagorno-Karabagh) YEREVAN and NEW YORK-A new
documentary – “Between Hunger and Fire: Power at the Expense of Lives,”
about the events taking place between November 1991 and February 1992
in Karabakh – was screened on Friday, Feb. 25, 2012.

This two-part documentary recounts the shattering of the Azerbaijani
blockade of Stepanakert (capital city of Artsakh/the Armenian Republic
of Nagorno Karabakh), and presents compelling evidence about the
criminal activities of the political elite of Baku – which led to the
tragic deaths of civilians in Khojalu, including the victimization
of women, children and the elderly.

“Between Hunger and Fire” will counter and shed light on a range of
misinformation presented globally by Azerbaijan, the prime motivation
being to shift blame from those accountable (in this case, the Azeri
government itself) for Azeri civilian deaths.

Using a vast trove of materials, “Between Hunger and Fire” will be of
interest not only for wide audience, but also for research and the
academic community. The archive, assembled during the investigation
of tragic death of civilians in Armenian-populated Stepanakert
and Azerbaijani-controlled Aghdam region, entails grounds for a
wider-scale film.

Meanwhile in the United States, a group calling itself the Azerbaijan
America Alliance has launched a massive propaganda campaign of
misinformation on the Azeri version of the Khojalu issue. Full-page
advertisements headlined “Khojaly: A Human Tragedy Against Azerbaijan”
appeared in the national editions of the New York Times on Friday,
Feb. 24 and the Washington Post on Saturday Feb. 25.

Advertisements have also been placed in Washington Metro stations,
buses, bus shelters and other transportation venues in Washington
and New York.

Following is the official trailer for “Between Hunger
and Fire: Power at the Expense of Lives” (7 mins):

The premiere of the entire film will occur in Yerevan the week of
Feb. 27 – March 3, 2012, followed by additional screenings around the
world. The research group initiating the film/investigation reports
that the documentary will for now be screening the film in Russian and
English, after which it will be translated into seven more languages.
