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.
