Azerbaijan's State Security Service urges citizens to refrain from sharing videos related to army

Dissemination of videos related to the Armed Forces of Azerbaijan in social networks imposes serious legal responsibility.

The State Security Service of Azerbaijan told Caliber.Az that in recent days, Telegram channels associated with Armenian intelligence agencies have been posting calls to share videos related to the Azerbaijani army's military units, their locations, movements, combat and mobilization readiness, weaponry, and military equipment.

"The State Security Service has taken these cases under control, and necessary measures will be taken against individuals who initiate similar actions. It's absolutely unacceptable to create and share videos that seriously harm the national security and defense capability of our country, contain information related to the Armed Forces of the Republic of Azerbaijan, and have state secrets. We urge citizens to refrain from committing such actions," the SSS said.

"At the same time, the deliberate commitment of these unlawful actions is subject to investigation on suspicion of committing crimes related to the disclosure of state secrets, and in some cases, state treason, which entails corresponding legal consequences," it added.
