How is it possible to ensure the security of information in the South
Caucasus and what joint steps need to be taken in that direction?
These issues were discussed at the conference on "Security issues and
information cooperation" that kicked off in Yerevan today. During
three days Armenian, Russian and Georgian politicians and media
representatives will discuss how to prevent the outflow of information
and provide "first hand" high-quality and exact information.
According to analyst Karen Bekaryan, it is important to work out
"filters" to check the information coming from the outside.
References to this or that issue often differ or even contradict each
other in the media field of the South Caucasus. This is the case
with the Nagorno Karabakh issue. Karen Bkaryan says that even the
publications in Armenian media are often contradictory. "However,
we at least have the opportunity to check the information from our
colleagues in Karabakh," he said.
"Nevertheless, there is one major problem. What kind of information
flows to the outer world? If someone is interested in issues related to
the public, social and economic life of Nagorno Karabakh, where will
he get the information and to what extent will that information be
exact? It's a serious problem to find true "first hand" information
against the background of the propaganda campaign launched by
Azerbaijan," Karen Bekaryan said.
Head of the CIS & Baltic Department of the Russian State News Agency
RIA Novosti Alan Kasaev said "a team has been established, which
clearly knows what it has to do to ensure information security. "This
is especially important when the question refers to Russia's mediating
role in the Armenian-Azerbaijani relations," he said.
"Russia now plays an active role in the region, and the two visits
of the Russian President to Armenia and Azerbaijan raised the
Armenian-Russian relations to a new strategic level. On the other hand,
they revealed a number of problems that exist in the negotiations
and the media field," he said.
Professor of the Tbilisi State University Gia Meparishvili agrees that
there are a lot of problems in the information field and proposes his
own solution. According to him, "instead of fearing of problems it's
necessary to work jointly to solve those. There is no other way out."
