ATUC Chairman, MP Sattar Mohbaliyev congratulated journalists on the 145th anniversary of the Azerbaijani National Press. The congratulation says:

I congratulate you, the numerous army of journalists, on the 145th anniversary of our National Press, and wish you success in your responsible work for the development and future prospects of the Azerbaijani press.
   Today, the press is involved in building an independent state, civil, democratic civil society, implementing economic and social reforms, ensuring social justice and transparency in society, protecting human rights, creating an atmosphere of solidarity and tolerance, forming national consciousness, political culture and healthy moral values plays an important role. It is impossible to imagine the realization of all these processes in our country without the participation of the press and mass media.
 With the return of national leader Heydar Aliyev to power in 1993, our national press, freed from political attacks, pressures and shackles, began to play an important role in a modern democratic society under the leadership of President Ilham Aliyev. All opportunities have been created in the republic for the free activity of the press and for journalists to freely express their will. Mr. President attaches great importance to celebrating the establishment of the Azerbaijani national press at the state level, addressing the social issues of journalists, as well as providing financial assistance to the media, and is particularly sensitive to the work of journalists.
As the Confederation of Trade Unions of Azerbaijan, we have close ties with the media of the republic. I hope that these relations will continue, the solution of labor and social problems of workers, the protection of their rights will come to the fore.
   I wish you good health and success in your work for the development of our press.
