BAKU, Azerbaijan, January 27. A number of
foreign online news channels and social media segments are
spreading disinformation, aiming to undermine the strategic
alliance between Azerbaijan and Türkiye, raising doubts about its
source, and not reflecting reality, the Media Development Agency
(MEDIA) told Trend.
According to the agency, preliminary investigations revealed
that this disinformation campaign originates from the Tsargrad.tv
resource in the Russian-language segment of the internet.
"We strongly condemn and emphasize that such disinformation
acts, which are directed against our country, attempt to confuse
public opinion with false and manipulative content and serve to
target the brotherly and allied relations existing between
Azerbaijan and Türkiye, are unacceptable.
We call on Azerbaijani and Turkish journalists, as well as media
entities, to demonstrate a principled position against such
disinformation attempts, to refrain from spreading unverified
information, and to act responsibly in protecting the information
environment.
We invite the public of both countries not to believe false
information and to rely only on statements made by official
bodies," the agency said.
MEDIA noted that it will continue its effective cooperation with
the Public Relations Department of the Turkish Presidential
Administration in order to prevent such cases and form a unified
position.
