The Azerbaijani functionaries who have a diplomatic status and are
dealing with the propaganda of ideas and thoughts of their country's
leadership and ideologists are too talkative and they often treat
foreign experts and analysts as their soul friends. The statements of
these functionaries demonstrate the effectiveness of the Azerbaijani
propaganda.
Certainly, it is not worthwhile to talk about it and thereby weaken
the enthusiasm of the Armenian experts. In fact, however, it is
time to sum up the results. The activity of the Armenian authors is
a separate issue for consideration. In fact, there is nothing to
consider because they have been unable to understand the problem,
let alone the ultimate goal.
As to Azerbaijan's official propaganda (and its vast majority is
official), Baku lost in this field, and huge funds spent to this end
did not bring about any important results. It is interesting that the
international community has acknowledged that it is impossible to make
a decision on the Karabakh issue, taking account of Azerbaijan's
ambitions. The Azerbaijani political government has called the
functionaries dealing with propaganda for an account.
In Russia, Europe and the United States, as well as in other regions,
Azerbaijan has recruited authors of different calibers. The third
wave of recruitment has passed and totally unknown authors have
been engaged in the anti-Armenian propaganda. Entire think tanks
and educational institutions have been recruited, including academic
and solid state universities in Moscow, leaders and participants of
large-scale programs in the U.K. and the U.S., reporters in different
countries. Generally, the Armenian interests are attacked widely,
considering their activities on the web. So why is the Azerbaijani
government complaining?
Of 20-25 experts recruited by Azerbaijan in the West and in Russia
only 2 or 3 are known as authors of publications. However, they have
already run out of their resource, and in the community of politicians
and experts they are viewed as deeply unprincipled and venal authors.
I have mentioned their names on another occasion. The authors of the
second and third echelon are not well-known, and hardly anyone is
interested in their publications. Authors of a smaller caliber have
appeared whose publications will hardly be found in a more or less
authoritative journal.
It should be noted that the western expert community is built so that
it is rather difficult to be always present in such journals with
such tendentious materials. Similar publications are hardly effective,
and their addressee is not clear.
It is known that thanks to the efforts of some Armenians who work on
their own initiatives those authors were practically erased from the
list of the pertinent. These authors are as cowardly as unprincipled.
It should be noted than in the era of information it is impossible to
lie endlessly. Such methods are impossible in an Islamic environment.
Basically, there are no Islamic authors in the Azerbaijani propaganda.
If any, they are funny and wretched scribbles. Meanwhile, the
professional experts of those countries have stated for a number of
times that the Azerbaijani propaganda does not interest anyone, and
the world is solely interested in economic information from Azerbaijan.
The Azerbaijani political scientist Alek Rasi-Zade (the brother of the
Azerbaijani prime minister) thinks that the Azerbaijani propaganda
is a convenient sphere for making money, and some functionaries
living in the United States and Russia have made a lot of money. It
also concerns a young man who has recently bought an apartment in
Washington having no legal source of income.
But this is a trifle, whereas the problem is that Azerbaijan got
no results from its propaganda. So, the Armenian experts may relax
relatively because someone else has done their job. Apparently, soon
Baku will review not only the methods of propaganda and approaches
but also re-evaluate the foreign policy. They have not understood
something, and they have not thought something well enough. They
relied on their money too heavily.
