Azerbaijan has reached a “level” that it now sends fake journalists to press conferences with the representatives of Armenia, and it prepares questions for them in advance.

The most recent such incident occurred in Rome, during Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian’s joint news conference with his Italian colleague, Angelino Alfano.

An Armenian News-NEWS.am source from diplomatic circles said verifications have revealed that the “journalist” who posed a question to Armenia’s FM at this news conference and who introduced herself as a representative of Russia Today, actually has no connection with this recognized TV company. 

After getting better familiarized with the activities of this person, it became clear that she actually is a correspondent of “Russia News.”

Later it became clear that the embassy of Azerbaijan in Rome provides her work.

And before that, she had taken a training course at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Azerbaijan.
