Timofey Yermakov, a member of the anti-Azerbaijani media network during the Second Karabakh War, distinguished by his pro-Armenian position, presents himself as a military journalist and is disseminating propaganda information about the Ukrainian war on his "Sinyaya Z Boroda" (Blue Z Beard) Telegram channel. In one of his posts, he reported about Azerbaijani Seymur Aghayev, who according to him died near Artyomovsk (Bakhmut). The text, written with very insulting and insolent words, also mentions that Seymur Aghayev fought in the 2020 Karabakh War.
Faktyoxla Lab. tried to clarify this information.
When browsing the channel managed by Timofey Yermakov, the abovementioned allegation was not found. When we searched for the photo using the "reverse search" method, we came across completely different content. Thus, in response to Yermakov, the well-known Russian-language Azerbaijani channel "Qız qalası" (MaidenTower) shared this information: "A Georgian citizen of Armenian origin is missing in Ukraine. Suren Nazaryan was born on October 30, 1996, in Tbilisi. In recent years, he lived with his family in Kharkiv. Suren was fighting in the direction of Bakhmut."
This information presented by "Qız qalası" was distributed by the Armenian telegram channel "nemrutsars", which spreads provocative posts and disinformation. When we searched to clarify this data, we found facts confirming that the person presented by Yermakov as "Azerbaijani" in Armenian sources is Suren Nazaryan.
An Armenian blogger living in Russia named Mina Khachatryan writes that this boy with emerald eyes was born in Georgia and served in the Armed Forces of Ukraine where he lives. "On the side of evil forces. Suren Nazaryan, nicknamed "Mark", died with one of the thousands of senseless, futile deaths, but he could be immortal. Because he could not separate slavery from freedom…"
"Armenia" channel writes that Suren Nazaryan (Mark), a soldier of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, born in Tbilisi, died in Bakhmut/Artyomovsk.
One of the Russian Telegram channels said "2 Georgian mercenaries were eliminated in Artyomovsk: 1. Mikhail Mazanashvili 2. Suren Nazaryan."
All these facts show Timofey Yermakov's attitude towards Azerbaijan and Azerbaijanis. Probably, the provocateur blogger deleted the post because he was informed about the mistake and was exposed. Russian-speaking Azerbaijani telegram channels write that Yermakov cannot digest the fact that Armenians, whom he calls brothers and always defend, are fighting on the "enemy" side (in the Armed Forces of Ukraine). In addition to propaganda regarding the Russian-Ukrainian war, his channel contains lots of information about the killed Azerbaijanis. Most of the posts are accompanied by insulting and derogatory comments.
Yermakov was a director by profession, and currently works in the "wargonzo" project of Armenian media magnate Aram Gabrielyanov, in addition to preparing reports for his own channel. During the Second Karabakh War, along with other pro-Armenian bloggers, spread misinformation from places close to the war zone and prepared reports that were only suitable for Armenian propaganda. Currently, that "team" continues its activities in Ukraine.
