KHANKENDI, Azerbaijan, July 20. “I am very
pleased with the development of Azerbaijani media. I am truly glad
that today our media has earned great credibility not only
domestically, but also internationally – and I say this with
complete sincerity,” said President Ilham Aliyev during a meeting
with participants of the 3rd Shusha Global Media Forum, Trend reports.
“Today, Azerbaijani media is capable of protecting national
interests. It has achieved great success in exposing baseless
accusations against Azerbaijan through solid arguments, thorough
analysis, and factual evidence. Our media not only defends national
interests, but also, when necessary, goes on the offensive – and
that is also important. In sports, they sometimes say that the best
defense is a good offense,” the head of state noted.
President Ilham Aliyev emphasized that Azerbaijani media is now
fully capable of responding to any slanderous or hostile campaign,
and this is a very important reality.
