Azerbaijan detains two for disinforming tensions on border with Armenia

Tokyo, 09 April, /AJMEDIA/

Groundless information circulating on social networks in recent days falsely claims escalating tensions on the Azerbaijani-Armenian border, the presence of casualties and injuries within the Azerbaijani Army, the mobilization of troops and heavy artillery, and the imposition of a curfew in Azerbaijan’s Lachin district, AJMEDIA reports via the joint statement of the Media Development Agency and State Security Service.

The statement also said that, as a result of investigations conducted by the State Security Service, it was determined that the individuals disseminating such information, which caused concern in society, are Republic of Azerbaijan citizens Rashad Aliyev (born 1977) and Parviz Melikov (born 1973).

To prevent the spread of such information, the necessary legal procedures have been implemented.

The Media Development Agency and the State Security Service, warning that committing these acts carries serious legal consequences, urge media subjects and journalists not to use inaccurate information published on social networks whose source is unknown, and urge citizens to always be principled in such cases and not to trust unfounded information circulating on social networks without reference to official sources.
