The civil war began when Azerbaijan shut down the Armenian-language television station. Its the same thing that precipitated the siege of Sarajevo when (former President Slobodan) Milosevic turned around the television transmitters so people didnt have access to news -- not to mention radios infamous role in fomenting violence in Rwanda. The longer I work on media issues, the clearer it is that the free flow of information is critical to avoiding war.
