“Claims circulating in some media outlets and social media accounts alleging an ‘attempt to lower the Turkish flag in Azerbaijan’ are disinformation.”
According to Globalinfo.az, this was stated in a post on X by the Center for Combating Disinformation of the Turkish Directorate of Communications.
The center noted that the footage in question is old:
“At the time the video was filmed, the provocation targeting the Turkish flag was met with an immediate and firm response by Azerbaijani citizens. No such incident involving the lowering of the Turkish flag took place,” the statement said.
The center emphasized that presenting old footage as a new development and circulating it out of context aims to undermine the relations of friendship and brotherhood between Türkiye and Azerbaijan.
The public was urged to remain vigilant and discerning in the face of such manipulation.
