Rasmus Canbäck: Perché la gente dovrebbe stare attenta ai media statali russi in un contesto armeno?

Could someone post the tweets? I wanted to read but need to be logged in for that.

The Meduza article is interesting. They received a copy of the manual for Russian propagandists with the main talking points and how the events of September 2023 in Artsakh should be covered:

> Meduza obtained a manual that the presidential administration sent to employees of state and Kremlin-loyal media on the evening of September 19. In it, the Kremlin recommends blaming Armenia and Western countries for the aggravation of the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh. The emphasis must be placed on the fact that “the Armenian leadership recognized the sovereignty of Azerbaijan over Karabakh,” and as confirmation of this thesis, the AP advises citing statements by Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan made in October 2022. However, then Pashinyan and Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev directly spoke only about respect for the territorial integrity and sovereignty of their countries.

> The text of the manual says:

>> Most likely, the Armenian Prime Minister was pushed to make this statement by his Western “partners”, who should fully share responsibility for the consequences with him. The decision of the Armenian leadership, which itself radically changed the status of Karabakh, became a signal for Azerbaijan to act; now Baku perceives the conflict in Nagorno-Karabakh as its own.

> The Kremlin recommends describing the status of Russian peacekeepers as “observant,” while pro-government media workers should be told about the peacekeepers’ assistance in “evacuating civilians.” Separately, the compilers of the manual advise mentioning that people find “shelter” in an Orthodox church located on the base of the Russian peacekeeping contingent.
