Azerbaijan spreads disinformation in connection with photo exhibition dedicated to Nagorno Karabakh held in Czech Republic
In the Capitol bookstore at the Czech town Frýdek-Místek photo exhibition of famous Czech photographer-blogger Ladislav Vetvichk dedicated to the Nagorno Karabakh was opened for nearly a month. Although the opening of the exhibition took place on 7 January and the house was full, the Azerbaijani side spreads disinformation, saying allegedly there were no visitors at the exhibition at all and it failed, the European edition of "Orer" reports.
As noted in the article on February 3, the closing ceremony of the exhibition was attended also by the Armenian Ambassador to the Czech Republic Tigran Seyranyan, representatives of the Armenian community and many other visitors. Director of the bookstores Jan Becher was pleasantly surprised that the citizens are so interested in the exhibition. "We have not had such vibrant and exciting activities for a long time," he said.
However, as the newspaper writes, the Azerbaijani Ambassador to the Czech Republic Farid Shafiyev told with irony Azerbaijani news agency "Trend" that from the photos it is clear whether the exhibition was held in domestic atmosphere or in a public place where "there were no visitors." The ambassador also assured that he was trying to clarify the situation with the local authorities.
The publication stresses that the ambassador of Azerbaijan actually is trying to hide his own incompetency. "It is not surprising that at any event devoted to the Nagorno Karabakh, Azerbaijan spreads disinformation. Regarding this fact we publish the photos from the exhibition," the paper concludes.
It should be mentioned also that on the published photographs the attendees of the photo exhibition are clearly visible – there are citizens of all ages among them. In addition, it must be noted that some of the visitors stand or sit on the shelves as well, apparently the chairs weren’t enough.
