Novruz Mammadov: â€œTurkish newspaperâ€™s disinformation about Azerbaijan shocked meâ€

Baku. Lachin Sultanova â€“ APA. â€œDisinformation about Azerbaijan published in Turkish newspaper shocked me. It is very sensitive moment. We expressed our position on the processes of normalization of Turkish-Armenian relations. But Turkish newspaper â€œBu gÃ¼nâ€ spread absurd reports todayâ€, chief of the International Relations Department of Presidential Administration Novruz Mammadov told APA. He said it was impossible to understand reason and goals of this article.

â€œIt is not exception that there are some forces in Turkey and other countries, which try to cool Turkish-Azerbaijani relations and strategic partnership. I see it in Russiaâ€™s Regnum agency. It is clear that who owns this agency and what goals they follow. Regnumâ€™s odious owner intends to put the region against Azerbaijan in his articles and thinks that he serves Russian interests with that. But this person is mistakenâ€, said department chief.

Mammadov noted that â€œBu gÃ¼nâ€ newspaper reported that Azerbaijani president broke his visit to Georgia and return to the country to call emergency meeting of the parliament when reports about the protocols between Turkey and Azerbaijan were spread. â€œWhat does it mean? Who dares to write this? They said that Azerbaijan and Armenia signed a protocol and Azerbaijan was shocked and accused Turkey in betrayal and etc. It is not true. Such lies negatively impact on the public communities in both Turkey and Azerbaijan. Today I talked with Turkish ambassador Hulusi Kilic. The ambassador told me â€œtake no note of itâ€. Azerbaijan and Turkey have long history of friendship, brotherhood and strategic partnership. It can not be hurt by any Regnumâ€™s reports. But Turkish mediaâ€™s reports hurt meâ€.

Mammadov said â€œBu gÃ¼nâ€ newspaper reported that Azerbaijani parliamentarians visited Turkey regarding the last developments. â€œThe visit was planned two months ago. I send a message to Azerbaijani and Turkish communities not to believe to such lying and slandering reportsâ€.
Turkish newspaper â€œBu gÃ¼nâ€ published an article today that protocols between Turkey and Armenia shocked Azerbaijan and President Ilham Aliyev called an emergency meeting of the parliament.
