Baku / 06.06.18 / Turan: The leadership of Radio Liberty has criticized the decision of the Supreme Court of Azerbaijan, which upheld a decision on blocking the site of this radio station. "In 2014, the government of Azerbaijan, in violation of all laws and procedures, closed our bureau in Baku and launched an attack on all independent media," said Thomas Kent, President of Radio Liberty, and added that the decision of the Supreme Court on June 4 was a continuation of the previous policy.
On May 12, 2017, the Sabail District Court, by its decision, approved the blocking of websites: azadliq.org, azadliq.info, Meydan.TV, Turan.TV and www.azerbaycansaati.tv in December 2017. The Baku Appeals Court upheld this decision.
In December 2014 the Azerbaijani authorities closed the Baku bureau of Radio Azadlig. - 16D-
