Azerbaijani Defense Ministry has appealed to all users of social networks in the country.

Members of governmental and non-governmental organizations, representatives of the public and media outlets, who visit the territories recently liberated by Azerbaijani armed forces, regularly share on social networks the photos and videos they shoot in those lands, the Defense Ministry told local media on Friday.

The dissemination of these photos and videos poses a threat to the safety of Azerbaijani soldiers serving on the frontline and is of interest to enemy intelligence, the ministry said, calling for removal of these photos and videos.

It is strongly recommended no to disseminate such photos and videos in the future,” the ministry stressed.
The defense ministry noted that inspired by the latest counter-offensive operations carried out successfully by the Azerbaijani Armed Forces, the people of Azerbaijan withhold no support for the army in a variety of ways.
According to the ministry, these efforts by citizens, who are in high enthusiasm after the Azerbaijani military’s battlefield successes, have been made on a voluntary basis.

“We would like to reiterate that the ministry has not asked for any assistance. However, on behalf of the Defense Ministry we thank all for any kind of support provided voluntarily,” said the ministry.

“At the same time, we would like to note that the Armed Forces are shown comprehensive attention and care by our state—personally by President of the Republic of Azerbaijan, Supreme Commander-in-Chief Ilham Aliyev, and issues of maintenance and supply are effectively taken care of on a regular basis,” the ministry concluded.
