"I congratulate my Azerbaijani friends who are professional journalists and media practitioners on the 146th anniversary of National Press Day that is celebrated on every July 22.

This is my second year working with Azerbaijani media and I find the Azerbaijani Media very efficient and forthcoming regarding the world news. Azerbaijani Media portrays a realistic picture and unbiased situation analysis which of course add credibility to any media. I would like to mention that media outlets of Azerbaijan are always supportive, whenever I have approached them, they not only provide me a platform to present my case but also try their level best to understand and appreciate my viewpoint. So far situation of the Karabakh is concerned, I followed the entire event side by side with Azerbaijani media and Azerbaijani media played a historic role in placing true picture of war to the world and coverage of Azerbaijan showed the world that manipulative information cannot work anymore. World is not ready to accept fake news, audience are now informed enough that they can figured out twisted and tilted viewpoints that’s why people want to know the truth. Azerbaijani media not only presented their case earnestly but also with the help of other countries media outlet they make their case even stronger. During the entire period they ask for authentic and research based write-ups from the researchers like me, it seems their only concern was not defending their case but also they were eager to understand non- Azerbaijani viewpoint. The thing which I want to appreciate most is the welcoming atmosphere that obviously create space for multiple trajectories."
