Oku.Az reports that on page “X” Hikmet Hajiyev, assistant to the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, head of the Department of Foreign Policy Affairs of the Presidential Administration, wrote about this.
According to him, the article lacks professional verification of the facts and is full of speculation and rumors:

But, How do European media react when they spread fake news and lies about others?
