Oval Useful news from Azerbaijan and Caucasus
Egypt`s Al-Ahram newspaper and Youm7 portal have posted articles highlighting President Ilham Aliyev’s congratulatory message to Azerbaijani media representatives on the occasion of the National Press Day of the country.
The articles quoted President Ilham Aliyev as saying: “Strengthening the potential of our national information resources and their position in the global information network has been one of the main tasks in the current era.”
“The Republic of Azerbaijan is a modern and strong state with an independent policy and a worthy place in the system of international relations. This is why attempts to undermine the international reputation of our country and influence its internal life in the global information space show no sign of abating. During the Patriotic War, the Azerbaijani media fought on the information front and played a major role in preventing disinformation attacks by providing prompt and correct information to our society. Our media resources tirelessly continue their activities to convey the truths of Azerbaijan, including the unprecedented atrocities and vandalism committed by Armenians on our historical lands during the occupation, to the international community,” the head of state said.
Algeria’s “Al-Harir” portal, citing AZERTAC news agency, has posted on its website the Arabic version of President Ilham Aliyev’s congratulatory message to Azerbaijani media representatives, as well as an article highlighting the International Media Forum on “Global trends, new challenges in media”, held in Azerbaijani city of Shusha.
