Azerbaijan intends to launch information war against Iranian-Armenian relationsFebruary 7, 2011 - 13:19 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Political analyst Fikret Sadykhov said that an offensive information policy should have been launched against Iran long ago. According to him, coverage of close relations between Iran and Armenia should be a priority of the information policy. “The matter is that these relations are of an evident anti-Azerbaijani nature, as from the economic point of view, Iran does not benefit from expanding its assistance to and investments in Armenia, which is labeled in Tehran as a “brotherly country.” A similar policy of Iran contradicts its Islamic structure, ethics, membership in OIC and principles of good neighborly relations with Azerbaijan. Against the background of fraternization with Armenia, the statements of Iranian authorities concerning support to Azerbaijan’s territorial integrity are nothing else, but mere words,” said Sadykhov. He offered establishing a TV channel, radio station, which would broadcast on the Iranian territory. “The erroneousness of the Iranian policy in the matter should be presented through media, internet, social networks, organization of protests, including in South Azerbaijan. Meanwhile, a special attention should be paid to the Iranian youth, which is rather active and basically is negative disposed towards the current authorities, specifically, after the last presidential elections,” 1news.az quoted Sadykhov as saying.
