US AMBASSADOR CONGRATULATES AZERBAIJAN JOURNALISTS ON NATIONAL PRESS DAY
Ambassador of the United States to Azerbaijan Mr. Reno Harnish has sent a letter of congratulations to AzerTAj, whereby it is stated:
“On behalf of the US Embassy, I would like to congratulate all journalists in Azerbaijan on National Press Day. We strongly support the continuing development of a free and responsible media in Azerbaijan. No country can be a real democracy unless it has an unfettered press, with access to information from its government and people. The media must strive to provide accurate and objective information to all their country’s citizens, including truly independent broadcast media that is accessible to all. We recognize the progress that has been made over the last thirteen years, and we will continue support the media of Azerbaijan as they work to realize these goals”.
