Statement by the Secretariat of the First Vice-president of the Republic of Azerbaijan

Recently, cases of creating false accounts on behalf of First Vice-president of the Republic of Azerbaijan Mehriban Aliyeva on social networks and dissemination of thoughts, citations, and appeals to the country’s citizens, sharing her photos, have taken place broadly. Taking into consideration the increasing tendency of such false articles and for the purpose of preventing their dissemination, the Secretariat of the First Vice-president of the Republic of Azerbaijan declares that Mrs Mehriban Aliyeva is not a user of any social network, and all her appeals and statements are delivered to the audience through official mass media.

False statements on media and social networks on behalf of the country’s First Vice-president related to significant for our state matters, including the Armenia-Azerbaijan Daghlyg Garabagh conflict, causes confusion. While there is free access to comprehensive, official and true information about the activities of the First Vice-president of the Republic of Azerbaijan, use and dissemination of untrue information is intolerable.

We call on everybody to be responsible, and refrain from dissemination of unverified, false and provocative information.
