Under our platform manipulation policy, we investigated and removed 35 accounts that had ties to the Government of Armenia, Twitter said.

“These accounts were created in order to advance narratives that were targeting Azerbaijan and were geostrategically favorable to the Armenian government,” it reported, adding that in some cases, the fake accounts purported to represent government and political figures in Azerbaijan, as well as news entities claiming to operate in Azerbaijan. The accounts engaged in spammy activity to gain followers and further amplify this narrative.

The company also stated that based on information provided to it by the FBI, it removed approximately 130 accounts originating in Iran and 100 in Russia.
