For a long time, the notorious western project “Bellingcat” was actively used by Georgian media to disseminate anti-Russian propaganda suitable for their foreign sponsors. However, another lying stuffing from the authors of Bellingcat could turn into a very real conflict on the territory of the republic.
This is stated in the material of the Georgian edition of News Front.
The fact is that the next Bellingcat fake was not an anti-Russian provocation, which was boldly quoted by Georgian information resources. It aimed at disagreeing with Azerbaijan. So, on November 1, through the efforts of Bellingcat in Georgia, information was circulated that Azerbaijani troops allegedly occupied part of Georgian territory near the junction of the borders of Azerbaijan, Georgia and Armenia. The author of the material was a journalist of Armenian origin Masis Ingilizyan.
The situation was complicated by the fact that in the process of citing the links with the source were lost, and in Georgia they distributed information referring to the pro-Armenian website, where the author was not even indicated. This made the residents of the republic worry.
In this case, as noted in the Georgian edition of News Front, local media, even realizing that the Bellingcat news is an outright lie, chose to remain silent rather than dispel fears. The discrediting of the anti-Russian resource for them turned out to be much more unacceptable than the neutralization of panic.
