Senior official: Azerbaijan is not selling Russian gas to West

Claims that Azerbaijan is selling Russian natural gas to the West are a blatant example of disinformation. 

This statement was made by Hikmet Hajiyev, Assistant to the President of Azerbaijan, on December 13 while speaking at a panel session of STRATCOM–2024 in Istanbul, Caliber.Az reports citing APA.

Hajiyev noted that Azerbaijan faced a significant volume of disinformation back during the 44-day Patriotic War and other anti-terrorism operations. He added that Azerbaijan has been employing artificial intelligence to combat such disinformation.

While speaking at the conference on emerging communication technologies, Hajiyev noted that despite the resolution of the war, the policy of spreading false information about Azerbaijan continues, and this issue is being raised during negotiations with Armenia. The presidential aide disclosed that disinformation campaigns were also carried out during the COP29 climate summit which was recently hosted in Baku.
