YEREVAN.- Azerbaijani media is one of the main sources of the government in anti-Armenian propaganda, Sargis Asatryan, an expert in Azerbaijani affairs told reporters on Thursday.

“Media is an effective source diverting international community’s attention away from real aspects of the events in Sumgait, Baku and Khojaly,” he noted. In his words, Azerbaijani press, radio and television is almost fully controlled by the ruling regime and is guided by their instructions.

“Our media is free but is weaker in terms of propaganda. Our reporters are more ethical, as compared with their Azerbaijani colleagues,” he said.
