YEREVAN. - Military parade dedicated to 20th anniversary of Armenia’s independence caused a wide response in international media, as compared with the response to the military parade of Azerbaijan, said the head of Sociometer sociological center Aharon Adibekyan to a press conference on Monday.  

He argued that according to the statistics, around 80 web sites mentioned the military parade in Azerbaijan however the parade of Armenia was mentioned in 830 sites, in English, Russian and Turkish.

Psychologist Samvel Khudoyan in his turn touched upon the psychological impact of the Armenian parade, dividing it into three parts - the impact on the neutral side, on the enemies and on friends.

"The military parade in Armenia left quite a positive impression on the neutral side, the international community. For example British media reported on participation of clergy in the parade, friendly countries were impressed by participation of Russian troops. As for the enemies, the statement of Armenian President and the parade itself caused the mistrust of Azerbaijani society in the military power of the country. Despite the efforts of Azerbaijani media, Azerbaijani society has a sense of uncertainty, which, in turn, will lead to aggression."
