During the Munich Security Conference on February 14 president Ilham Aliyev answered questions only from state and pro-government media.

His days as president are limited, reaching its end. Contrary to his beliefs, Azerbaijani people are not still as ignorant as he wanted to be, and won’t stay passive forever. By throwing this dynasty, Azeris will become “doubly victorious” nation, and will see economical problems resolved, country becoming respected in the worldwide arena, and the standards of living will also reach a level that surely fits an oil-rich country.
Bro’s spitting facts
At least he replied, great progress. I have never seen him replying to non-government Azerbaijani media.
Azərbaycan is his world, bro
Truly a rare occurrence: to see him actually act like a human being and state his opinion in a non-scripted and unprepared way.
King is spitting facts, but in Azerbaijan we call with another word of the king…..
Is he wrong? It’s an objectively true statement. Every media outlet has an agenda to push, and consciously or not there are personal biases to every journalist. The only objective things the news can report are things like the weather lol. And even then they might exaggerate some things to make a point. I’ve had friends call me asking me if I’m ok a few weeks ago because on their local news in America they showed “RECORD SNOWFALLS IN RUSSIA, ENTIRE BUILDINGS COVERED IN SNOW” and they were showing videos of Kamchatka, meanwhile I live on the opposite end of the country. And those are just the banal things.
It’s in the interest of journalists to make more and more sensationalized content because that’s what keeps people engaged and interested, it’s in the interest of media companies, therefore, to blow things out of proportion so that people get riled up. Remember: you are not immune to propaganda, and if you think your preferred source of news never engages in propaganda, that’s because their propaganda is working on you.
Its actually surprising that he, out of all people says that
Is he wrong? 😂
Did I just hear him say “F*ck you!” or was it in azerbaijani?😂
Well, he’s right about that
i mean he is correct, even if you get an answer, the independent media has no audience to begin with
they will have to sell their news into the big media, which will censor it according to their policies
He is partially right, but in the Western world, big corporations and lobbyists buy media outlets and journalists — they don’t kill or jail them.
Heç olmasa dürüstdür.
