Baku:Media and Broadcasting Council Recent unfounded posts in Turkey's media, particularly on social media, have caused concern in Azerbaijan. These posts are seen as damaging to Azerbaijan-Turkey relations and creating negative perceptions in public opinion.

According to Azeri-Press news agency, the Media and Broadcasting Council of Azerbaijan has expressed alarm over the prevalence of biased and unfounded claims circulating in Turkey's media. The council emphasizes the high level of relations and mutual trust between Azerbaijan and Turkey, viewing these smear campaigns as regrettable and unacceptable.

The council's statement suggests these posts are not random but rather part of a coordinated effort managed by specific groups. Such actions are deemed incompatible with legal and ethical standards and contradict Turkish legislation. Azerbaijan calls for a sensitive approach and enforcement of legal requirements to address the issue.

Azerbaijan is monitoring developments in Turkish media and is considering legislative measures, including potential restrictions on entry into Azerbaijan for those involved in the smear campaign. The Azerbaijani public deems it unacceptable to allow platforms for individuals seeking to harm the strategic alliance between the two nations and expects practical measures to prevent such activities.
