Regional issues expert Karen Igityan does not consider it a coincidence that the “Nagorno-Karabakh issue” section was removed from the official website of the Armenian Foreign Ministry.
“This is not the first such case. For example, the page about the Artsakh War was removed from the official website of the Armenian Ministry of Defense. Now it’s the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ turn. Obviously, this is Baku’s agenda. Moreover, Baku’s propaganda machine many years ago referred to the section on the Nagorno-Karabakh issue, where, by the way, very competent content was posted. Now this content does not exist, and, of course, the Armenian government should have declared that this was a technical problem. In recent days, similar ‘technical’ problems were in schools and barracks, when the ‘Corners of Glory’ were dismantled,” Igityan said.
It should be noted that the day before, international affairs expert Sergey Melkonyan reported in his telegram channel that the section “Nagorno-Karabakh issue” was removed from the website of the Armenian Foreign Ministry.
In a conversation with the media, the Ministry claimed that the section had not been removed from the website, emphasizing that “the content will be displayed in due course.”
Earlier, Azerbaijani President’s Special Representative Elchin Amirbekov said that, in addition to the Declaration of Independence of Armenia and a number of other documents, the official website of the Armenian Foreign Ministry also causes controversy in Baku, where in the section dedicated to the Nagorno-Karabakh issue, it is stated that Artsakh is an integral part of historical Armenia.
