The largest city in Azerbaijan was not attacked (Wrong)

HIBRID

The portal "GazetaMetro.net" has published the article titled "The moment of the Armenian attack on the largest city of Azerbaijan: Delicate point for the start of the war."

Upon reading the title, one gets the impression that there is talk of an attack in the Azerbaijani capital, Baku, since it is also the largest city in this country. While the content correctly describes the statements of senior Azerbaijani officials, who raise concerns about an Armenian attack in the second largest city in this country, Ganja. So, the title of this article turns out to be wrong, but not the content.

Part of the original text published on GazetaMetro.net:

Hikmet Hajiyev, an aide to the Azerbaijani president, tweeted a video on Sunday showing damaged buildings, saying it was the result of "massive Armenian missile attacks on densely populated areas" in Ganja, Azerbaijan's second-largest city which is not in Karabakh.

Azerbaijan's Vice President Hikmet Hajiyev said Armenia targeted major cities such as Ganja and Mingachevir with missile strikes. Ganja, home to several hundred thousand residents and the country's second largest city, is located approximately 100 kilometers (about 60 miles) from Stepanakert, the capital of the Nagorno-Karabakh region.
