The article entitled “Europe’s Azerbaijan gas gambit is good news for Russia” by Politico Europe is nothing but a vile example of disinformation, Assistant to the President of Azerbaijan – Head of the Foreign Policy Affairs Department of the Presidential Administration Hikmat Hajiyev wrote on X, Report informs.

"It lacks professional fact-checking and is complete with gossip and rumors. The decline of European journalism and media standards to such a low level is, to put it mildly, shameful. European Union treats global media disinformation with particular sensitivity and concerns. It is understandable! But what are the reactions when European media outlets are engaged in spreading fake news and lies about others?

One single fact completely disproves this article: in 2024, Azerbaijan has not imported any gas from Russia. Period! Azerbaijan’s gas production is carried out in cooperation with international partners. The production and export volumes are clearly visible to everyone. Azerbaijan will continue to contribute to the energy security of its partners based on its existing resources and agreed contracts. We demand that Politico Europe issue an apology and retract this false article!" he wrote.
