In recent months, the anti-PR campaign against Azerbaijan, targeting SOCAR by some groups in Türkiye, resulted in an attack on the company's office in Istanbul a few days ago, Ednews reports.
It was determined that this attack was organized by groups rooted in Türkiye and supported by Iran. The same groups have been campaigning against Azerbaijan for months in the Turkish segment of social networks, under the pretext that "SOCAR sells oil to Israel".
According to verified information, SOCAR does not sell oil to Israel, these are false and fake news.
All companies in the world oil market sell their goods to trading companies. The companies cannot control who the traders sell the oil to.
It seems that the purpose of this information manipulation is to cast a shadow on Turkish-Azerbaijani friendship as a whole by targeting SOCAR, and to harm the reputation of Azerbaijan in Turkish public opinion.
It should be noted that until 2024, SOCAR made its biggest investments in Türkiye. This figure reached 18.3 billion dollars during the 15 years since he started investing. SOCAR is thus the largest foreign direct investment company in Türkiye.
