"I would not say that we lose in the propagandist war to Azerbaijan.
The thing is, by us the external propaganda is not coordinated by
the authorities, as it is done in the neighboring republic. This
demonstrates that there is no democracy in Azerbaijan. Media in Nagorno
Karabakh can have different opinions on one and the same issue, which
shows the democratic nature of society. Under the authoritarian rule
in Azerbaijan this is practically impossible," Chairman of the Constant
Commission on External of the Nagorno Karabakh National Assembly Vagram
Atanesyan is quoted as saying by a REGNUM correspondent in Stepanakert.
The MP stressed the role of the parliamentary commission in propaganda
of NKR interests, in examining the facts of violence against citizens
of the Nagorno Karabakh Autonomous Republic and the Nagorno Karabakh
Republic by Azerbaijan. He added the commission's task is to "study
and submit to the international community facts of criminal policy
by Azerbaijan against peaceful settlements in Nagorno Karabakh, in
particular, ethnic purges in the city of Shushi in 1988, facts of
violence and other crimes carried committed during the so-called 'ID
check', The Ring operation held jointly by the Azerbaijani Special
Police Forces, internal troops by the USSR Interior Ministry and
USSR Defense Ministry in April-May 1991, facts of appalling massacre
in the village of Maraga, Martakert District, NKR, military crimes
in Shaumyan Dustrict, parts of Martakert and Askeran Districts,
NKR, occupied now by Azerbaijan, and all other criminal actions of
Azerbaijani armed troops towards civil population of Nagorno Karabakh."
One of the main tasks of the propaganda, believes the MP, is informing
the international community on the essence of the national liberation
fight by the Karabakh people.
