On September 3, Hikmet Hajiyev, Azerbaijani Presidential Aide and the Head of the Foreign Policy Department of the Presidential Administration, stated that Anders Fogh Rasmussen, former NATO Secretary General Anders, received money from the Armenian government and accused the BBC of bias.

"From the money talks series! Apparently, on the eve of the 'anniversary' of the most terrible, bloody, and criminal separatist entity in Europe's so-called 'Nagorno-Karabakh Republic,' a new dramatic misinformation and manipulation campaign was launched by order of the Armenian Government and Armenian lobby groups," Hajiyev wrote on X.

He added that at least, but disgracefully, the former NATO Secretary General does not deny that the Government of Armenia pays him for a propaganda campaign. "A copy of the income sheet is attached. Even if it’s a shame, at least the former NATO Secretary General does not deny that he received money from the Armenian government for a propaganda campaign. Some politicians hypocritically divide the world into ‘good and bad separatists and criminals’. It’s hard to break old habits!" Hajiyev noted.

He also accused the BBC of violating the impartiality principle in its Charter. "But disturbing is that the BBC in its Charter declaring that "is committed to achieving due impartiality in all its output. This commitment is fundamental to our reputation, our values and the trust of audiences" is engaged in one-sided and biased aggressive manipulation and promotion of lies as well in "Context" program. BBC should serve as a platform for all voices, particularly on sensitive topics," Hajiyev concluded.
