Various accounts sharing photos and videos of President Ilham Aliye can be encountered across social media platforms. However, the use of such imagery does not imply that these pages are official.
Today, anyone can open a social media account, upload videos, edit footage, and alter audio. Through artificial intelligence, it is also possible to mimic a person’s voice and broadcast words they never uttered on their behalf. Therefore, verifying the source when evaluating and sharing such material is essential.
Sea-news.az highlights President Ilham Aliyev’s official social media accounts for readers:
- X (Twitter): “twitter.com/azpresident” (https://twitter.com/azpresident)
- Instagram: “instagram.com/presidentaz” (https://www.instagram.com/presidentaz/)
- Facebook: “facebook.com/PresidentIlhamAliyev” (https://www.facebook.com/PresidentIlhamAliyev)
- Youtube: “youtube.com/@presidentaz” (https://www.youtube.com/@presidentaz)
Direct links to each of these accounts are hosted on the official website of the President of Azerbaijan – “president.az” (https://president.az/). Users can navigate directly to the official accounts by visiting this website.
The fact that an account bears the President’s name, features his photo in the profile, and has garnered numerous followers does not validate the reliability of its posts.
We urge readers to follow information regarding the head of state’s activities via president.az and the official social media accounts listed there. We particularly emphasize that President Ilham Aliyev does not have an official account on the “TikTok” platform.
Verify before you share. Cite the official source.
