ANNIVERSARY GREETINGS
Secretary General of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation (PABSEC)
Academician Asaf Hajiyev,
To Chairman of Board of Azerbaijan State News Agency (AZERTAC) Mr. Aslan Aslanov
Dear Mr Aslanov,
I heartily congratulate you and the entire staff of AZERTAC on the 100th anniversary of the agency, and wish each of you success in your work and the best of health.
In the modern world, one of the most important concepts in the development of countries is presence of accurate, fair and reliable information. It is crucial to ensure that the news be delivered to the public in a timely manner and the appropriate actions be taken on time. AZERTAC, which marks its centenary, has played an important role in the history of both the Soviet Azerbaijan (under different names) and independent Azerbaijan.
Employees of AZERTAC news agency have been on the forefront of efforts to increase the world community`s awareness of the realities of the hardest days of Azerbaijan such as bloody January events and the Khojaly genocide, as well as the situation on the frontline over the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
AZERTAC is today successfully operating in many countries, including Turkey, and widely promoting Azerbaijan and the latest developments taking place here by spreading news about the country, especially the important reforms carried out by President Ilham Aliyev. We are truly proud of AZERTAC’s decisively enhancing position in the global information community.
Dear Mr Aslanov,
I once again wish you and your entire staff the best of health, family happiness and great successes in delivering the news about the country to the world community.
Yours sincerely,
Academician Asaf Hajiyev
Secretary General of the Parliamentary Assembly of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation (PABSEC)
