that aims to destabilize and lose confidence among people, political leadership and the government

so as to lose the prestige of the state.Rumors have existed since ancient times and were the destructive weapon in wars and revolutions.

  Thus, we must quickly respond to these tendentious rumors, address them and refute them in order to prevent their spread.

The recent rumors have come against the backdrop of military progress, economic development in the country

and giant investment projects. We have valiant armed forces, skilled police, a high court and great people.

society and all areas of life in cooperation with organizations and institutions of the state and civil society.
