KAREN VRTANESYAN. "WE ARE REALLY AT WAR."
July 15 2014
"In any war, intelligence, penetration or subversive acts are
registered. But we are really at war, because it is cease-fire, and
not a peace treaty. But to associate this with external global and
other phenomena, I do not think, it's right," so responded campaign
researcher, Karen Vrtanesyan, to the question of Aravot.am of whether
the recent days registered border military and subversive acts are
associated with foreign policy developments. Recall that on July 9,
in the afternoon, and the morning of July 10, the Azerbaijani armed
forces fired at the village of Chinari. Subversive acts were carried
out in Karvachar. In the conversation with us, Karen Vrtanesyan
noted that the subversive, intelligence and military acts are part
of regular military operations, like for instances, bombardments and
skirmishes. Later, he stressed, "Such acts also have a psychological
effect, regardless of whether they were designed specifically for this
purpose or not. Any military action, if successful, has a demoralizing
effect on the enemy. In this specific case, the operations by the
Azerbaijan side on the border have also a psychological effect." To
the question of Aravot.am of whether as a result of implementing
a specific policy of information it is possible to neutralize the
psychological effect, Karen Vrtanesyan responded, "It is possible,
for example, the right coverage of such actions, when the data are
not inflated and are not presented by additional emotions." Referring
to Azerbaijan's military and subversive acts, the expert noted,
"In this given case, the primary goal of the opponents' actions is
that they are covered in the press. Therefore, if it is possible to
be restrained in the coverage, then these actions would lose their
meaning. But under today's competitive environment of information
field, such actions, one way or another, reach their goal." According
to Karen Vrtanesyan, the authorities, to avoid this situation, should
possibly try to provide timely, efficient and accurate information.
