Baku propaganda creates false stereotypes and distorts essence of Nagorno Karabakh conflict
Discussions on the recently published book "Nagorno Karabagh: Facts Against Lie. Information-Ideological Aspects of the Nagorno Karabagh Conflict" by Arsen Melik-Shakhnazarov took place at the NKR MFA.

NKR Deputy Foreign Minister Vardan Barseghian, NA Deputies, experts, and foreign ministry employees participated in the discussions. The book was introduced by Maxim Hovhannisian journalist and writer, activist of the Karabagh National-Liberation Movement who emphasized the importance of Arsen Melik-Shakhnazarov's work as documentary narrative of NKR people's struggle for self-determination in the context of the information-propagandistic war unleashed by Azerbaijan.

Saying that the Azerbaijani propaganda creates false stereotypes and distorts the gist of the Karabagh conflict, the author stressed, that the truth about the conflict should be introduced to the international community.

Foreign Affaires Ministry expressed its readiness to facilitate translation of the book into English and other languages and organize its distribution.
