How the statement of three presidents was falsified in the Western media
05 October 2020
I already wrote about falsification by Reuters of the Statement of OSCE Minsk Group co-chair states’ presidents on cease of war between Azerbaijan and Armenia. Although the Statement says about the co-chair countries’ presidents’ calls to leaders of Azerbaijan and Armenia, Reuters somehow managed to insert there “the Mountainous Karabakh” as a part as well.
Whereas many news agencies have corrected this fraud after it was exposed, the Voice of America’s Russian service has not yet done so. The Voice of America’s Russian service writes: "США, Франция и Россия потребовали незамедлительного прекращения огня между Азербайджаном и силами этнических армян в Нагорном Карабахе, призвав стороны как можно скорее вернуться за стол переговоров".
Although everyone, including the Voice of America, knows very well that the war is ongoing not between Azerbaijan and ethnic Armenians of Garabagh, but Azerbaijan and the occupying Armenian Army. Moreover, in the full absence of such an expression in the Statement by Putin, Trump and Macron where did the Russian service get it from?! Just for persecution of this kind of speculative interpretations on such a sensitive issue the authentic texts of Statement are posted in the official websites of Kremlin, White House and Elysee Palace.
How could the Russian service of the Voice of America, founded from the budget of the US and located five steps away from the White House account for that it refers not to original text placed in the official resources of the country it represents, but to a fake one and ascribes to the presidents a text they have never spoken about?!
What is a purpose of that? How is it that most of such distortions are found in the Russian services of various international agencies?!
