Baku Iran International, Kan and denied the reports about the presence of Israeli troops on the territory of Azerbaijan published by foreign media such as The Telegraph. We inform that there are no military forces of any foreign country on the territory of Azerbaijan, and we strongly condemn information manipulation based on false information in this regard," the statement said.

 

Media Development Agency of Azerbaijan (MEDIA) rejected the reports of a number of foreign media about the presence of Israeli troops in the country. The agency's statement states that this information is untrue and aimed at misleading the public.

"We inform you that there are no military forces of any foreign country on the territory of Azerbaijan, and we strongly condemn information manipulation based on false information in this regard," the statement reads.

The agency cited Iran International TV, The Telegraph and Cannes Broadcasting as unreliable sources of information. According to MEDIA, these mass media spread false information about Israel's ban on the presence of its military personnel in Azerbaijan.

"At the same time, we once again draw our attention to the fact that regardless of the country in which the mass media operate, they must adhere to the universally recognized principles of journalism when disseminating information," the message reads.

The agency urged the public to trust only official sources of information, and journalists and social activists to be vigilant when false information is being spread.

Earlier, the state broadcaster of Cannes reported that the Israeli army has banned its military personnel from staying in the territory of Azerbaijan and Georgia due to the threat of attacks by Iran. It is said that according to the order of the leadership of the army, the Israeli servicemen stationed in these two republics of the South Caucasus must return to Israel immediately.

It is said that this decision was caused by the proximity of Georgia and Azerbaijan to Iran, the presence of Iranians in their territories, as well as Azerbaijan's common border with Iran.

The situation in the Middle East worsened after the July 31 assassination of Hamas Political Bureau Chairman Ismail Haniya in Tehran and the assassination of one of Hezbollah's commanders, Fouad Shukr, in Beirut. Iran, Hamas and Hezbollah blamed Israel for the attacks and vowed to retaliate.
