"Azerbaijan will continue to contribute to the energy security of its partners based on its existing resources and agreed contracts," Assistant to the President of the Republic of Azerbaijan - Head of the Department of Foreign Policy Affairs of the Presidential Administration of the Republic of Azerbaijan Hikmat Hajiyev wrote on X platform while commenting on the article entitled “Europe’s Azerbaijan gas gambit is good news for Russia” by POLITICO, APA reports.
"The article entitled “Europe’s Azerbaijan gas gambit is good news for Russia” by POLITICO Europeis nothing but a vile example of disinformation. It lacks professional fact checking and complete with gossips and rumors. The decline of European journalism and media standards to such a low level is, to put it mildly, shameful. European Union treats global media disinformation with particular sensitivity and concerns. It is understandable! But what are the reactions when European media outlets are engaged in spreading fake news and lies about others?
One single fact completely disproves this article: in 2024, Azerbaijan has not imported any gas from Russia. Period! Azerbaijan’s gas production is carried out in cooperation with international partners. The production and export volumes are clearly visible to everyone. Azerbaijan will continue to contribute to the energy security of its partners based on its existing resources and agreed contracts. We demand that POLITICO Europeissue an apology and retract this false article!" Hikmat Hajiyev noted.
