    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ Recently, vatan.org.ru Azeri internet recourse
    circulated a material entitled "Armenians are fleeing Karabakh",
    citing data from survey conducted by Stepanakert Press Club, with
    financial assistance of Friedrich Ebert Foundation.

    PanARMENIAN.Net reporter addressed the Head of Stepanakert Press Club,
    Gegham Baghdasaryan and Friedrich Ebert Foundation Yerevan Subsidiary
    Director, Naira Gevorgyan, with a request to comment on publication
    specified.

    According to Gegham Baghdasaryan, the article is clearly a
    misinformation, an Azeri- spread rumor aimed at disorientation of
    public opinion. "We never conducted such surveys, nor did Ebert
    Foundation put in such an order. Moreover, it's safe to say no one
    will leave their native land for reasons indicated in the article,
    as such reasons do not exist."

    Friedrich Ebert Foundation Yerevan Subsidiary Director, Naira
    Gevorgyan also officially denied information on financing any survey
    in Stepanakert.

    PanARMENIAN.Net also verified information on a certain RA Human
    Rights Protection Center, with an expert named "Hrayr Aghajanyan"
    among its employees. No such center was ever registered at RA Justice
    Ministry. However, there is Sakharov Human Rights Protection Center.

    As for Express Newspaper, cited by Azeri internet resource, the
    private advertisements newspaper hasn't been published in Yerevan
    for over 3 years.
