Establishment of the ceasefire in Karabakh in 1994 facilitated
negotiations between the conflicting parties but was not enough for
the final settlement of the conflict, according to Gegham Baghdasaryan,
President of Stepanakert Press Club.
"Neither peace nor war situation and absence of any official relations
escalated tensions in the region," he said in a statement.
"The ongoing perilous information war involuntarily becomes a kind
of artillery training, which may lead to inevitable military outcome
with catastrophic consequences for the entire South Caucasus. On the
threshold of the 16th anniversary of the ceasefire agreement signed
on May 12, 1994, I think it is necessary to introduce a "ceasefire"
initiative in the information field as well. I strongly believe that
the termination of information war will create favorable conditions
for continuation of a peaceful dialogue, will contribute to achievement
of real compromises and mutually acceptable decisions on the Karabakh
conflict settlement, as well as to approximation of media positions
in this issue. I offer heads of media organizations of Azerbaijan,
Armenia and Nagorno Karabakh to stop the information war from May 12,
2010. First, this means rejection of publications insulting the honor
and dignity of a whole nation and its individual representatives,
as well as of materials inciting ethnic dissention and propagandizing
war," the statement reads.
