The Commission on Foreign Interference and Hybrid Threats of the Milli Majlis (Parliament) of Azerbaijan has issued a statement regarding the ongoing disinformation campaign targeting the country through social media platforms.
According to the Commission, unfriendly activities originating from the territory of a neighboring country continue to target Azerbaijan’s information space via Facebook.
Several pages — including Echo of Baku, Azeri Horizon, Xəbər24, Merry You, Azerbaijan Pulse, and Az Insight — are being used to conduct coordinated information attacks aimed at misleading public opinion and discrediting Azerbaijan’s successful domestic and foreign policies.
The statement underlined that posts containing geopolitical manipulation are initially published in the Azerbaijani language on Facebook and are followed by links to external platforms like Telegra.ph. These links reportedly serve to collect sensitive user data, including IP addresses and device information.
The commission emphasized that relevant public authorities are actively monitoring and responding to such operations in coordination with each other. The commission also noted that following official complaints submitted to Meta, several of the pages in question have already been taken down.
The Commission on Foreign Interference and Hybrid Threats of the Milli Majlis urges citizens to remain vigilant and avoid trusting unverified information, regularly updating the public about the hybrid threats and tools employed against Azerbaijan.
