The Armenian community of Malta has expressed its outrage and disappointment with “Forgotten Victims of Frozen Conflict” Euronews reporting dated 1 February, panarmenian.net reported.
“We think it is incorrect to give such a free and one-sided interpretation to UN resolutions on Nagorno Karabakh conflict, as well as to approve and broadcast calls for war that were heard in the reporting,” the community said in a statement.
“We truly hope that one of the most respectable and tolerant channels of Europe as Euronews will henceforth be more delicate and tactful in broadcasting such reportings, especially taking into consideration that there are the Armenian-Azerbaijani negotiations as a background.
“We are very hopeful that the changes in the membership of the shareholders of the Euronews channel do not have any influence on its work and do not in any way impact the neutrality that a television channel should possess,” the press service of the Armenian Diaspora of Malta said.
The conflict between Nagorno Karabakh and Azerbaijan broke out in 1988 as result of the ethnic cleansing the latter launched in the final years of the Soviet Union. The Karabakh War was fought from 1991 to 1994. Since the ceasefire in 1994, sealed by Armenia, NKR and Azerbaijan, most of Nagorno Karabakh and several regions of Azerbaijan around it (the security zone) remain under the control of NKR defence army. Armenia and Azerbaijan are holding peace talks mediated by the OSCE Minsk Group until now.
