BAKU, Azerbaijan, July 21. The Shusha Global Media Forum is of great importance in the fight against disinformation, editor of Visions of Azerbaijan magazine Ian Peart told Trend.
He noted that disinformation is widespread in the world today. "I watch a lot of Western media, how they write, sometimes I want to cry. Their distortion of what happened, especially during the conflict with Armenia, is simply incredible. Sometimes I wrote to Western media, come here, look at Azerbaijan, check, don't just copy and paste, what you said is not true, not accurate," he said.
Peart added that it was important to invite journalists from around the world to discuss the issue. "Because I'm very concerned that this misinformation continues," he added.
The forum, which is attended by more than 150 foreign guests from about 50 countries, including representatives of news agencies from about 30 countries, 3 international organizations and 82 media institutions, serves as a joint platform for discussion and action for participants.
