"Echo Moskvy" launches an anti-Armenian campaign
"Echo Mpskvy" Russian radio station yesterday dedicated the one of its broadcasts to Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan. The campaign launched last evening by Alexander Boudberg, was full of all kinds of old and new labels, explicit hints and blunt demagogy.
The insolent provocative tone of the program was not something new. The allegations on Shoushi being the "Azerbaijan's ancient capital", the hints on the Armenian President's biography being similar to that of African dictators, the tragic moment of praying to God during the Khodjalu massacres (organized with the active involvement of the Russian troops), allusions to former Armenia premier Andranik Margaryan's death unmasked the "well-informed" Editor-in-Chief of the broadcast and revealed the true image of the first-class radio station declaring its (and not only its) political preferences in an open and explicit manner.
Nargiz Asadova's statements on the conflict being a special operation launched by Russian special services, Andrey Yakovlev and Benediktov's statement on Moscow's intention to use pressures against the RA President for the country's possible participation in the NATO trainings in Georgia almost became a specific kind of know-how. Alexander Boudberg again started provocative statement, considering President Sargsyabn's upcoming visit extremely difficult and stressing the importance of Russia's strategic partnership with Azerbaijan.
The investigation into the RA President's personal life ended with Nikolay Toyitskiy's malicious statements expressing strong concerns to spoil his Russian by pronouncing the awkward surname. He was all the time sticking to the Communist past of the second and third Armenian Presidents (forgetting about Heydar Aliev's biography).
Such propaganda is intended to convince the public that Azerbaijan, a country rich in energy resources and other reserves, will be a better strategic partner compared to Armenia. But there's one our Russian colleagues forget: the establishment of closer ties with Baku cannot bear a momentary and «instrumental" character for Azerbaijan seeking to achieve the settlement of the Karabakh conflict the way it desires. And it's quite possible that those who insist on this option being preferable will be asked out of Armenia the following morning.
