The Russian news agency RIA Novosti on Wednesday has removed the photos
containing false information about Azerbaijan from an exhibition in
Kiev. The agency has also apologized to Azerbaijani delegates.
The photo exhibition, presenting the work of the photographers from
the former USSR countries, was organized within the Forum of European
and Asian media outlets, being held by RIA Novosti. The Forum began
its work in Kiev on Wednesday.
The two photos by Armenian photographer Ruben Baghdasaryan identified
the Azerbaijani district of Agdere (formerly Mardakert) now occupied
by Armenia as Armenian. This prompted a strong protest from the
Azerbaijani delegation.
Attempts of Armenian Ambassador to Ukraine to intervene and prevent
the removal of photographs have been unsuccessful.
The forum brings together about 300 leaders of media outlets from
throughout the CIS and Baltic states, as well as Georgia. The heads
of information structures, newspaper and magazine chief editors,
and TV and radio station general directors will attend. The guest
list also includes well-known journalists and international experts.
The forum will be addressed by Adviser to the UNESCO General Director
Henry Yushkyavichus, Rospechat head Mikhail Seslavinsky, National
Institute for Strategic Studies Director Andriy Yermolaev, Trend
News Agency General Director Ilgar Huseynov, Kazinfo Chairman Daura
Diyarov, Latvian Journalists Union President Juris Paiders and other
representatives of participant countries.
The online newspaper, "100 Sides," will be presented asat the forum.
Each media outlet will have the opportunity to publish its materials
on the site and share content. The idea of creating an integrated
e-resource was proposed last year at the forum, RIA Novosti reported.
Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych was supposed to attend the
forum. However, the day before the event, his administration said
he would not be able to meet with the forum participants due to busy
schedule. The president will be represented by Ukrainian Presidential
Administration Deputy Chief Anna German.
This is the fifth annual forum of representatives of national media
outlets from post-Soviet countries. RIA Novosti initiated the first
such meetings in 2006. The annual forum aims to discuss issues facing
media outlets in the modern world.
