When it comes to disinformation, it becomes clear statements are made by representatives of such countries, who may issue such statements and remain unpunished. Tajik officials are unlikely to refute the information disseminated by Azerbaijani news agencies, Hayots Ashkharh daily writes.

As reported previously, On November 18, Azerbaijani APA agency disseminated misinformation, saying Permanent Representative of Tajikistan to the UN “voiced” the position of the Organization of the Islamic Conference on Nagorno-Karabakh. “The OIC opinion on Karabakh was raised by the Permanent Representative of Tajikistan to the UN who, as a chair of the OIC Conference Group in New York, recently addressed the UN Secretary-General and the President of the Security Council asking them to take into consideration the Dushanbe Declaration of the 37th session of the Council of Foreign Ministers of the OIC, held in May 2010,” the agency reported referring to the “UN News Center”.

Azerbaijan again spreads misinformation as Tajikistan and its representative, as a chair of the OIC Conference Group, neither “voiced” nor “asked to take into consideration” the OIC Dushanbe Declaration. Moreover, the agency cites “UN News Center”, which does not exist as such in the UN headquarters.
