"I'm sure that what we already are discussing for almost three hours will help us to deliver the message to those who use media as a weapon. It should not be used as a weapon." said President of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev as a response to Director of Al Jazeera English News Channel, Mr. Salah Negm's question in the second Shusha Global Media Forum themed “Unmasking False Narratives: Confronting Disinformation”, according to Ednews.
"Important is that the narrative is true, that it reflects the reality, and it is not biased. Because if it's biased, and it is pre-organized, or especially when it is part of a coordinated campaign, as we call it a media attack, then it's one thing. If it's just lack of information, it's another thing. But what Azerbaijan faced and continues to face is a coordinated media attack." Head of the state concluded by inviting recommendations on how to address these challenges, highlighting the forum's ongoing discussions aimed at tackling the misuse of media.
