Karabakh Foundation protests U.S. TV channel PBS
WASHINGTON D.C. – The Karabakh Foundation operating in Washington sent a letter of protest to the American Public Television Channel PBS President Paula Kerger in connection with demonstration of a biased documentary about Nagorno Karabakh, the Foundation said.
The film "The history of people living in neither peace nor war conditions" dealing with the Azerbaijani territories, which are under the Armenian occupation was demonstrated to American audience Oct. 24.
"The film reflects one-sided information, it doesn't tell about the history and cultural heritage of the Azerbaijanis, who comprise 80 percent of the Karabakh region's population," the Foundation's letter said.
The television channel was recommended to show films about the culture and history of the Karabakh region reflecting Azerbaijan's position.
"These films will help to acquaint the American television audience with Azerbaijan, as a country that has created the first democratic republic in the East. The films will tell Azerbaijan's unique role and the country's significant contribution to world culture," the letter read.
The Karabakh Foundation’s main goal is to disseminate accurate information about Azerbaijan, its integral part - Karabakh, and in general, the Caucasus region, as well as promote the Azerbaijani culture in the U.S.
