What connects a “troll factory” consisting only of “women” with the ministry? – Photo facts

On March 27, 2024, the website Yeniavaz.com published an article “How many years do people receive a pension in the countries of the region? Azerbaijan is the last.”
On the same day, the article was also published on the site's Facebook account of the same name.
After the article was published on a social network, more than ten comments were written in the comments section in the same style and with the same set of lines. The authors of the opinions tried to justify the fact that Azerbaijan ranks last in the region in terms of the payment period for pensions.

There are a few things to note about users who comment on posts:
- All users writing reviews use female data.
- None of the users have a real profile photo.
- User job records are fake. For example, a user with the name “Gunay Ibragimova” indicated “Yelo Bank” as her place of business. However, the information provided to Yeniavaz.com by Yelo Bank states that they do not have such an employee.

- All users make similar spelling errors in their reviews.
- There are similarities in posts on social networks. Usually different products, flowers, photographs of women, etc.
- These users write comments on social networks only to posts related to the activities of the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Population. This fact appears when you write the name of any of these users in the search section of Facebook.
- Most of these users only like the Facebook page of the Ministry of Labor and Social Protection of the Population.

- Some of these users simultaneously shared information shared by Rashad Mehdili, head of the public relations department of the State Social Security Fund.

For information, in the article “How does the Troll Factory work?” The Center for Social Research, published on the official website, mentions who can be considered a “troll”. This article lists some signs by which trolls can be identified. Some of these symptoms are the same as the user symptoms we discussed above.
The same article, published on the official website of the Center for Social Research, also states that if the activities of “trolls” are not dealt with, they have the opportunity to have a strong influence on public opinion:
“And this is a very dangerous situation for society. In order to prevent such situations, it is advisable to urgently contact site or social network administrators regarding fake “troll” accounts on social networks.”
