Yerevan /Mediamax/. The Azerbaijani Defense Ministry called on the media and social network users not to mention numbers and definite places of stationing of the military units.

The Azerbaijani Defense Ministry urged " to approach the issues from the viewpoint of the defense of national interests", Trend reports.

The press release reads that "the Azerbaijani media recently published information of various character on the operation of the Ministry of Defense and Armed Forces which is posted in the social networks".

"The majority of the news contains information of state secrecy, information on the places of stationing of the military unites and transfers of the staff. Besides, in late October 2013, a Facebook page named "Colonel General Zakir Hasanov" was created and it has nothing to do with the Ministry of Defense. Unfortunately, though the Ministry of Defense repeatedly recommended to deal with state secrets more cautiously the situation didn't change. As a result, in a majority of cases, the enemy's reconnaissance easily gets data on the Armed Forces (command, personal staff, stationing of military units etc) of Azerbaijan with the help of such information", the press release notes.
