PROPAGANDA TERROR – NOT SOMETHING NEW
- As we know, under the March 1 decree on imposing a state of emergency in the town of Yerevan, President Robert Kocharyan has, along with other temporary restrictions, “narrowed’ the scope of the activity of the media to a certain extent, prohibiting to disseminate false “information” aimed at destabilizing the situation and arbitrary “political analyses”.
In accordance with the above mentioned, it was particularly prescribed that the information on state and internal political issues should be presented in a “pure” form, i.e. in the form of official reports, without individual comments.
In response to the questions of the journalists, the President promised the previous day to review the relevant clause of the decree. “In the framework of the state of emergency, it is prescribed what publications concerning the internal political situation may be available. The new decree will prescribe the things that are not allowed to do. And the restrictions will only apply to the dissemination of provocative and obviously false information,” the President said.
Considering that no incidents and violations were observed in connection with the legal regime of the state of emergency, R. Kocharyan yesterday signed a new decree (as he had promised) on introducing changes in the decree issued on March 1. Accordingly, the clause restricting the activity of the media is reworded in the following manner, “The mass media are prohibited from publishing and disseminating obviously false information, concerning state and internal political issues, or any other information aimed at destabilizing the situation, as well as calls for participating in unauthorized (unlawful) events”.
Time will show to what extent such “mitigation” will contribute to stabilizing the situation, and to what extent it will allow us to resist the goal-oriented lie and fraud with the help of which the propaganda machine of the Armenian Pan-National Movement consistently and persistently poisoned the people for several years continuously, sowing total intolerance, hatred and hostility in relation to the authorities and dissidents in general.
One thing is clear: the “March 1” events wouldn’t have happened had the authorities tried to call to order the professional falsifiers who were engaged in “propaganda diversion” against the state under the cover of freedom of speech, who represented gossips and rumors as 100 percent “reliable information”, their own desires – as “analysis” and the fruits of their own morbid fantasy – as “political prediction”.
Was it necessary to declare a state of emergency in the country so as the media would be offered to mind their own business at last? That’s to say, to present true information to the public with regard to the developments taking place in the country, to have an elementary sense of responsibility, not to tell lies or defame people and to refrain from turning the events upside down.
After all, the pro-Levon propaganda terror, which intensified after the elections and, having reached its peak as a results of the incessant brainwashing continued in Theatrical Square for 9 days, surged a wave of mass psychosis and developed into a “spontaneous massive violence”, is not something new.
The organized misinformation campaign has always accompanied us after the 1998 shift of power. The propaganda of hatred, as a political category, i.e. a tool and a factor of a political confrontation, became fantastically active after the “October 27” acts, continuously polluting the atmosphere of public confrontation with the poisonous manifestations of mutual distrust, suspicion and spite. And today, it is doing its dirty business from the “underground”, ignoring the restrictions envisaged by the regime of the state of emergency.
Isn’t it accounted for by the fact that instead of subjecting the liars to liability and thus contributing to the formation of ‘liability institutions’, the law enforcement agencies ignored, for several years, the obvious misinformation circulating in the press supporting the Armenian Pan-National Movement and the unfounded accusations addressed to different people?
