Baku / 08.10.20 / Turan: From September 27 in Azerbaijan, by the decision of government bodies, free access of the population to all social networks has been closed. On the first day of the war, it was officially announced that this was due to the need to resist enemy propaganda.
This measure, taken with understanding, simultaneously brought significant inconveniences in obtaining and disseminating information, including official information.
The Ministry of Defense of Azerbaijan posts on its website videos about military operations in the YouTube format, but the population can only watch them on TV, since the entrance to YouTube is blocked.
Many users and media outlets are forced to download anonymizers to bypass the bans, but a decrease in Internet speed does not allow using these programs, because the Internet speed is reduced by 80%.
Baktelecom LLC, which provides Internet services to the population, confirmed to Turan that the speed of Internet traffic in Azerbaijan was deliberately reduced.
The deterioration in the quality of Internet communication has also hit the educational process in schools and universities that work remotely due to the coronavirus.
According to teachers, online lessons do not work due to poor communication.
The Ministry of Education knows this problem and believes that it will soon be solved as soon as the hostilities end, Turan was told in this department.
The situation creates special problems for media workers who are at the forefront of the information war.
According to experts, restrictions on access to the Internet made it possible for Armenian users to become more active in social networks and promote the position of the enemy. -0-

The closure of Azerbaijan's land borders was discussed during the parliamentary session on November 25. While the government’s decision cites the coronavirus pandemic as the main reason—despite the World Health Organization declaring its end last year—Zahid Oruj, Chair of the Human Rights Committee in the Milli Majlis, pointed to other factors. He stated, "Opening the borders could result in an influx of hundreds of thousands of non-Azerbaijani refugees due to the Russia-Ukraine war. Additionally, in Iran, many are prepared to cross into Azerbaijan to safeguard their lives and assets amid military strikes. Such waves of refugees could lead to humanitarian, social, and cultural clashes that may threaten political stability."
