Azerbaijan warns of fake quotes attributed to President Aliyev in Turkish social media
Azerbaijan's Media and Broadcasting Council has warned that statements President Ilham Aliyev never made are being circulated in the Turkish segment of social media and presented as his official position, APA reports. The council called the posts disinformation aimed at misleading the public, and urged people to rely on official sources.
Fake presidential quotes are a familiar weapon in information wars, and they travel fastest across a shared language space. When a quote attributed to Aliyev appears in Turkish feeds, it can look plausible to readers who follow both countries closely, which is exactly why the council moved to flag it publicly.
