ArmInfo. Actions that are essentially an information war are often carried out against the Republic of Armenia. This was stated by the Ambassador of Armenia to Russia Gurgen Arsenyan during his speech at the 12th meeting of the Secretaries of the Security Councils of the CIS countries.
As reported by the press service of the Armenian Embassy in Russia, he stated this while touching upon the issue of information security.
"Today, information and hybrid influence is acquiring a special scope, and in this context, I must regretfully state that actions that are essentially an information war are often carried out against the Republic of Armenia. This includes the dissemination of fake news by controlled or biased structures and media of foreign states, and their systematic dissemination of deliberately false information about Armenia, an attempt to impose a negative image of the country, to create an atmosphere of mistrust and uncertainty," the Ambassador of Armenia noted.
Arsenyan also touched upon the process of settling Armenian-Azerbaijani relations. "The Government of the Republic of Armenia is firmly committed to the speedy establishment of peace in the South Caucasus and the region's transition to a stable and predictable development trajectory, taking into account the interests of all countries in the region. We proceed from the firm conviction that peace between Armenia and Azerbaijan is not only possible, but also achievable," the Armenian diplomat said.
According to the report, during the meeting, the participants discussed joint measures by the CIS member states to preserve the historical memory of the Great Patriotic War and traditional spiritual and moral values in the CIS. Information security issues were also discussed.
Arsenyan stressed that next year the countries will celebrate the 80th anniversary of the victory in the most difficult war in human history, which was achieved largely due to the unity, indomitable endurance and heroic self-sacrifice of the peoples of the CIS member states. "We are proud that, having gone through all the trials, the peoples of our states made an invaluable contribution to achieving the final victory over fascism. Our grandfathers and grandmothers, at the cost of their lives and the happiness of their generation, broke the back of fascism, and we are infinitely grateful to them for what they gave to their Motherland," he summed up.
