Armenian scholars' articles in international scholarly publications can
serve as a counterbalance to the Azerbaijani propaganda, an Armenian
young scholar has said.
At a news conference today, the head of the Young Historians' Council
at the National Academy of Sciences, Artak Maghalyan, presented
Armenian scholars works in foreign publications, saying that most of
them are devoted to the Artsakh issue.
He said that only in 2008, Armenian scientists had a total of 540
scientific articles in international publications, while the scientists
from Georgia and Azerbaijan had 328 and 292 articles, respectively. In
2010, 36 scholarly works and 138 articles were published only by the
researchers of the History Institute, he added.
According to Maghalyan, the opportunity to get their scholarly works
published in international journals enables Armenian scholars to
introduce the product of their scientific efforts to the world and
develop ties with the scholarly circles from around the world.
"Besides, if an Armenian scientist manages to have a publication
in international journals, voicing the pro-Armenian position, that
brings a lot to the country, as well as the scientist," the young
scholar said.
Poet Artem Harutyunyan, also attending the news conference, noted
further that Azerbaijani scholars mostly publish of their articles on
the Internet, while appearing in international publications becomes
possible only thanks to oil dollars.
"Our scholars get their articles published thanks to their talent.
Most of the articles by Azerbaijani scholars is never referenced or
used," Maghakyan added.
"A scholar with an average monthly salary of 50,000 drams (about $160)
cannot be forced to do much," he added.
