ArmInfo. On April 15 the Azerbaijani delegation tried to use the
international conference on media problems organized in Tbilisi by
the Council of Europe to carry out a new provocative act by means of
disseminating misleading anti-Armenian propagandist literature among
the conference participants.
ArmInfo correspondent reported from Tbilisi that the Azeris made an
attempt to disseminate the books of their pseudo-historians, experts
and Azerbaijani Ambassador to Georgia Namik Aliyev, concerning the
Baku version of not only the Karabakh events, but also the events
that took place in the Caucasus in 1918.
The Armenian delegation expressed its strong protest against such kind
of agitation and stressed that the given conference is not dedicated
to the topic of Karabakh and this is not a place for propaganda on
that problem. As a result, the CoE representatives pointed out the
inadmissibility of discussion of such "sensitive and complicated
issues" as the Karabakh problem at a conference, which is dedicated
to ensuring of media freedom.
In addition, anti-Armenian literature by Georgian historians was also
being disseminated among the conference participants, particularly,
a book about the Armenian-Georgian war of 1918, as well as collected
materials of the conference held in Tbilisi in November 2009. Even
if one looks through these "works" superficially, one can see the
bias, detachment from the real historical facts, one-sidedness,
and the anti- Armenian trend of the publications of Georgian
"scientists", which touch on not only issues of bilateral relations,
for instance, the problem of the Armenian churches in Georgia, but
also the Nagorno-Karabakh problem, in which Armenia is presented
as an aggressor. These collected materials also state that Karabakh
has never been a part of Armenia, and deny the fact of the Armenian
Genocide of 1915.
Thanks to the Armenian delegation's efforts, one managed to suppress
this provocative attempt of the Azerbaijani party, which was trying to
tell the "truth about Karabakh" to the European, Ukrainian, Georgian
and Moldavian participants in the conference.
