The approval of unified dress code rules for students and educators in Azerbaijan serves to ensure the secular principle of education, as well as a unified approach in the educational environment.
elchi reports that this was stated in a statement by the Media and Broadcasting Council.
It was noted that, despite this, attempts are observed by some circles to deliberately politicize the essence of the issue, to shift it to a religious plane, and to turn it into a subject of artificial public tension: “Especially the coordinated activities carried out on social media platforms further increase this concern. The spread of identical or similar content, including negative comments and reactions, en masse and in short time intervals through individual accounts, and calls encouraging people to violate public order attract attention. The continuous intervention of a limited number of identical accounts in numerous posts and the intensification of activity within specific time intervals create serious grounds for this process to be coordinated, indicating a troll attack and information manipulation controlled from a single center from abroad. The main purpose of such interventions is to distort real public opinion, create an image of mass discontent through the artificial activity of individual accounts, divert attention from the essence of the issue, and turn the topic into a tool for certain political goals.”
The Media and Broadcasting Council of the Republic of Azerbaijan has called on citizens, media entities, and social media users to be vigilant against such situations, to consider the coordinated activities of suspicious accounts, not to spread manipulative content without verification, and not to fall under the influence of artificially created information waves.
