Two citizens have been brought to justice for false information about the situation on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border
The State Security Service of Azerbaijan has identified two individuals who in recent days have been spreading false information about the increase in targeting on the border with Armenia, the dead and wounded among the Azerbaijani Armed Forces, the imposition of a curfew in Lachin, and the bringing of troops into a state of combat readiness. It has been established that the authors of these reports are Azerbaijani citizens Aliev Rashad, born in 1977, and Melikov Parviz, born in 1973. "Necessary legal and procedural measures have been taken against them," the State Security Service and the Media Development Agency said in a statement on April 8.
The Media Development Agency and the State Security Service warn that such actions entail serious responsibility and urge media entities and journalists not to use inaccurate information published on social networks and to use official sources.
