The Azerbaijani Media Development Agency (MEDIA) reported the dissemination of false information in a number of foreign online publications and social media platforms aimed at undermining the strategic alliance between Azerbaijan and Turkey.

According to the agency's statement, a preliminary investigation has established that the disinformation campaign in the Russian-language segment of the internet originated from the resource "Tsargrad.tv" (Tsargrad TV). Azerbaijani authorities cited this incident as an example of an information attack targeting the country's key foreign policy alliance.

"We strongly condemn the spread of such disinformation... and emphasize its unacceptability. We call on journalists and media entities in Azerbaijan and Turkey to take a principled stance against such disinformation attempts, refrain from disseminating unverified information, and responsibly protect the information space," the statement reads.

The Russian propaganda outlet Tsargrad published information about Turkey's alleged planned financial aid to Armenia. The article claimed that Ankara intended to allocate $10 million to support vulnerable groups in the Armenian population, including the families of fallen soldiers. Turkish officials have already denied this information. Furthermore, the authors of the article presented the normalization of relations between Turkey and Armenia as a threat to Russian influence in the South Caucasus.
