Western Media Spreading Unreal Image of Muslims
This is according to Emad Abshenas, representative of Russian news agency Rossiya Segodnya in Tehran, who stressed that confronting the West’s attempts to portray Islam and Muslims as violent is necessary.
He made the remarks speaking to IQNA at the 21st International Press and News Agencies Exhibition in Tehran.
Abshenas further said that Rossiya Segodnya tries to cover news based on realities.
One of the approaches of the Russian news agency is combatting Islamophobia and Iranophobia, he stated.
Rossiya Segodnya is an international news agency founded by a decree of the Russian President on 9 December 2013.
It incorporates the former RIA Novosti news service and the Sputnik multimedia platform.
