    Broadcast about Nagorno Karabakh mounted hysteria in Baku
    17.01.2010 16:25 GMT+04:00

    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ In its recent Vesti-Povolzhye news program, Nizhny
    Novgorod State TV and Radio company broadcast a report on how the
    local Armenians of the town were providing assistance to Nagorno
    Karabakh Republic. The author of the report used the word Artsakh to
    refer to Karabakh, saying that it was the ancient name of the
    territory.

    This mounted hysteria in Azerbaijan. Particularly, the country's
    Foreign Ministry Spokesman Elhan Polukhov said the statement will
    receive a relevant reaction.

    In response to Azeris' anti-Armenian attack, Miasin Armenian
    Internet-community has launched an online campaign calling on
    Armenians to send their acknowledgement letters the TV Channel
    Director Zeleniy Nazariy by the following addresses: [email protected];
    [email protected]; [email protected].

    The Nagorno Karabakh Republic (NKR) is a de facto independent republic
    located in the South Caucasus, bordering by Azerbaijan to the north
    and east, Iran to the south, and Armenia to the west.

    After the Soviet Union established control over the area, in 1923 it
    formed the Nagorno Karabakh Autonomous Oblast (NKAO) within the
    Azerbaijan SSR. In the final years of the Soviet Union, Azerbaijan
    launched an ethnic cleansing which resulted in the Karabakh War that
    was fought from 1991 to 1994.

    Since the ceasefire in 1994, most of Nagorno Karabakh and several
    regions of Azerbaijan around it (the security zone) remain under the
    control of Nagorno Karabakh defense army.

    Armenia and Azerbaijan have since been holding peace talks mediated by
    the OSCE Minsk Group.

    Nizhny Novgorod State TV and Radio company is the successor of Gorki
    State TV channel whose 50th anniversary was marked on September 29,
    2007. This is the only TV and radio company in Nizhny Novgorod region
    possessing exclusive technical equipment, including a movable
    satellite station, TV studios with a total area of 150, 230 and 450
    sq.m., as well as a portable TV studio and a unique sound studio.
