Opening the event, Rashad Majid, Chairman of the Press Council, expressed gratitude to the agency for its support of the project.

This category includes subcategories such as ‘Laws Regulating the Circulation of Information Products in Azerbaijan,’ ‘Local and International Documents Defining Ethical Standards for Information,’ ‘Key Media Actors and Journalistic Organizations of Azerbaijan,’ ‘Gender Balance in Azerbaijani Media,’ and ‘Azerbaijani Media during the First and Second Karabakh Wars,’ as well as articles and events conducted within the scope of the project," he said.
Majid also mentioned that all 12 thematic articles planned under the project have been prepared and published, reflecting an institutional approach to the subject. The articles are available in the "Media Landscape of Azerbaijan" section on the website.
