The report contains numerous baseless and unacceptable accusations against Azerbaijan and does not reflect the real situation in the region, as well as around the Lachin road. In the first place, the claim of “absence of free and safe” passage... 21/06/2023 | 18:03:46 Thank you Chair Dear Colleagues, Each of these words differs from other ones in the language by the burden of pain it carries.

However, this process that we have been witnessing, notably the presidential elections cannot be attributed to a series of traditional elections. Initially, because unlike the elections in many other countries, there was great... 28/04/2023 | 11:25:15 Thank you, President. Dear colleagues, Youth and the media have always been connected with each other, and the media, by essence, signifies youth. The history of the press also demonstrates that it was created and moved forward even in the most complicated times, usually by young, energetic people.
