Abstract

The main media platforms of Arab countries, as the main media platforms of the world could not stay aside in 2023 from covering the reality of the forced displacement of almost the entire population from Nagorno-Karabakh after the so-called “anti-terrorist military operation” of Azerbaijan on September 19th. The main goal of the article is to highlight the Arabic-language reaction to these processes on media platforms of different Arab countries, in the context of the analysis of which one can also understand what their attitude is to this long-lasting conflict and its causes. It is also important to understand what the reactions in Arab countries were, at least in the media sphere, and what its features were in the context of resolving the issue in such a military way. In the article we separately touch on the general approaches and positions of Arabic-speaking countries, and in particular the League of Arab States and the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, in the context of recent events that these organizations had on Artsakh conflict, which may show the similarity and complementarity of these positions and positions found in Arab media outlets.
