According to a report by the Report Agency, Burhanettin Duran, the Head of Communications of the Presidency of Türkiye, stated in his speech at the Turkic States Forum on Combating Disinformation that numerous disinformation campaigns were conducted to overshadow Azerbaijan's victory in the Second Karabakh War.
Duran highlighted that Azerbaijan had managed to expose such false claims during and after the war, saying that one example was a fake report published at the time under the headline 'Azerbaijani soldiers entering Karabakh mock an elderly Armenian woman.' In the footage, one soldier is seen offering a glass of water to an elderly woman, and as she was about to drink it, another soldier poured the water onto the ground. However, in the complete version of the video, it is clearly seen that the Azerbaijani soldier personally gives the water to the Armenian woman.
He noted that this issue is directly related to national security, public stability and international reputation, and said, "Disinformation has become a threat spreading on an international scale. The magnitude of the risk and danger posed by disinformation must now be clearly perceived. The forum we held today serves this purpose and once again demonstrates our resolve and will to jointly combat disinformation.
