Contemporary Wars Also Fought in Information Field: Saghatelyan

The speed of the flow of information is evidently growing and in this matter, “we should be more watchful,” said RA Presidential Staff Public Relations and Information Department Chair and IT specialist Ara Saghatelyan at a press conference today, while speaking about information security.

“Much has been said recently about solutions by force [to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict]. It is Azerbaijan that initiates those conversations, and some Armenian representatives are also intent on making it a subject for discussion,” said Saghatelyan.

According to the IT specialist, in this case, contemporary wars, along with being fought in the battlefield, are also fought in the informational psychological arena.

“The public draws some conclusions by reading what we write. But some Armenian media outlets consider those conversations about the possibility of the war to be fake. In no way are they related to the real threats of war,” explained Saghatelyan.
