ArmInfo. The Armenian independent agency ArmInfo considers it sheer provocation the reference of the Azerbaijani news agency Turan to certain information of the agency, which allegedly reports on the Telegram channel associated with PMC Wagner.

This source, according to Turan, allegedly hinted that "Russian  mercenaries" are now in Nagorno- Karabakh. Following that, the  Yerevan source (Arminfo) allegedly published an information about the  investigation of the Bellicgcat website: "The geolocation of some of  the photos published by the channel indicates that they were actually  taken not in the South Caucasus, but in Syria. These hints seemed to  be a hoax; there is no evidence that Wagner is in Nagorno-Karabakh. "

ArmInfo news agency officially declares that it is not the author of  such vaguely worded information. "The style of the article in which  our colleagues from Turan accuse the Russian side of actively  engaging forces from the Wagner PMC in the 44-day war really  resembles the rotten "information crap "of the special services of  Azerbaijan," ArmInfo News Agency Director General Emmanuil Mkrtchyan  said.

At the same time, Mkrtchyan noted that during the war, the  Azerbaijani special services might have opened some fake accounts,  including under the name of reputable Armenian media, in order to  then use their own disinformation ideas to create information fables  and legends, thus opposing international public opinion, which  severely condemns Azerbaijan's political leadership for involving  Syrian terrorist mercenaries in hostilities on the Karabakh front,  the presence of which has been confirmed by numerous international  sources, including the Russian special services.  That is why the  special services of Azerbaijan opted for the need to involve the  Wagner fighters in their information war against Russia and Armenia.  

To note, today the Baku news agency Turan released an article headed   "Russian mercenaries fought against Azerbaijan and may stay in  Karabakh", in which, groundlessly, using the "source behind source"  method, they accused the Russian Federation of using "professional  mercenaries from Wagner PMCs" in the war against Artsakh , while  unequivocally asserting, referring to a certain Georgian expert  Gvaramia, that the Wagner mercenaries are directly connected with the  Russian Military Intelligence and are involved in the actions of the  peacekeeping continent of the Russian Federation in the NKR.
