A group of Armenian hackers “Ananun” published on the website “Vs.ananun.am” a new "portion" of correspondence of Azerbaijani journalists who are engaged in anti-Armenian propaganda and falsifications. This time it was the turn of Bahram Batiev, journalist of "Vesti.az" news agency, whose working correspondence concerning to Armenian issues, is made public and is being widely discussed in the network.

One of the notable points is the cooperation with the representatives of the Azerbaijani community of Israel, presenting themselves in media as independent and neutral experts. For example, the messages of Avigdor Eskin, offering their services to the Azerbaijani side, as well as subsequent reports for the fees are posted in the network.

It is also noteworthy that in the correspondence experts Arie Gut, Lev Spivak and Michael Agaronov admit openly that they are representatives of the Azerbaijani Diaspora in Israel: "The highest assessment of the work of our Diaspora is reflected in Akbar Hasanov’s article, the famous Azerbaijani journalist."

However, for example, Peter Lucksimson, the editor in chief of "News of the Week" Israeli newspaper rebukes the Azerbaijani adulterator for distorting his interview about the "dangers of the Armenian lobby."

The correspondence with well-known anti-Armenian Guram Markhuliya, who asks to call him Aliyev, is also interesting. He expresses his desire to learn Azerbaijani "to do a something pleasant to his brothers" and also alludes to the straitened financial conditions.

The correspondence with Georgi Vanyan the organizer of the failed Azerbaijani film festivals in Armenia can also be found in the network. Bahram Batiev and Rizvan Huseynov promise Vanyan to attend his event in Georgia.

Expert Oleg Kuznetsov suggests his services, "for voicing the disposition of the Azerbaijani side.” Batiev rejects his hints at covering the cost of his services. In the end he gets his satisfaction in his "appreciative audience" of his anti-Armenian interviews placed on Vesti.az news agency site.

Another interesting point is the cooperation of Ukrainian resource "Hvilya" with Azerbaijani propagandists; anonymous complaints of a teacher from Krasnodar region on his Armenian colleague Varvara Markarian, for example, or the testimony of retired serviceman Stanislav Razdobreev, whose interview was "corrected", and then completely removed from "Vesti.az." It is noteworthy that in his personal correspondence Russian military "gives" Batiev inconvenient questions of the Armenian journalists and recognizes that lied to the Armenians. Finally the proposal of actor Joseph Harry can be noted about sitting with Bahram in Tbilisi alone and drink a glass of Armenian cognac.
