BAKU, Azerbaijan, September
26. An information campaign directed against
Azerbaijan has been conducted from the territory of Türkiye in
recent days.
This was reflected in the statement by the Azerbaijani
Parliament’s Temporary Commission on Countering Foreign
Interference and Hybrid Threats.
According to the statement, the commission has
investigated—within the scope of its mandate—the information
campaign launched against our country via social media platforms
from the territory of the fraternal Türkiye.
Monitoring has revealed the following:
- This campaign, initiated by certain centers, aims not only to
target the relations of friendship, brotherhood, and alliance
between Azerbaijan and Türkiye but is also designed to mislead
public opinion, foster distrust among citizens toward our state and
its institutions, and create polarization within society;
- The campaign is being conducted in a coordinated manner
through targeted advertisements and both genuine and fake social
media accounts.
"We should note with regret that a number of well-intentioned
individuals within the societies of Azerbaijan and Türkiye -
nations that remain steadfastly committed to the 'one nation, two
states' principle - are also lending their support to this
malicious campaign. Furthermore, the campaign persists despite the
fact that such activities entail legal liability under the laws of
Türkiye.
Information regarding the participants in this coordinated
information campaign will be submitted to the relevant state
authorities of Azerbaijan.
The Temporary Commission on Foreign Interference and Hybrid
Threats calls upon our citizens and our brothers in Türkiye to
exercise caution and refrain from believing false information
during this sensitive period," the statement said.
