YEREVAN, JUNE 9, ARMENPRESS. The anti-Armenian propaganda of the Turkish and Azerbaijani sides undergoes changes, while nowadays the two sides are still in "ceasefire" regime. This was stated by Samvel Martirosyan, media expert, who talked about the possible changes in the anti-Armenian propaganda. “Turkey is trying to get out of the strict denial policy by changing its format. This can hinder us, because the Armenian lobbying organizations over the years have made their projects based on Turkey’s strict denial policy, and now Turkey turns to mitigation of its positions” – reports “Armenpress”, citing Martirosyan.

According to him, nowadays there are more interesting developments in the Azerbaijani side, which are rarely covered. "Azerbaijan is now seriously trying to engage in establishing of lobbying centers abroad. In other words, they are creating a diaspora, copying the Armenian side. The lobbying organizations are funded by the State Oil Company of Azerbaijan (Socar), and according to the latest data, those centers are included in the USA’s top ten organizations by the volumes of their funding" - said Martirosyan. He noted that in contrast to those centers that are becoming increasingly influential, the Azerbaijani propaganda in the media can be considered incompetent.
