The hundred-years long development path of AZERTAC, which is the leading news agency of Azerbaijan and the region, not only reflects the historical legacy, but also opens a new chapter.

I am ready to continue our efforts together with you in the field of media in order to develop mutual understanding between the two countries` peoples even further, deepen cooperation between the two countries in various areas and expand cooperation between our agencies.
