Baku / 17.08.17 / Turan: An attempt by the authorities to exert pressure on the Turan Information Agency (IA) is another evidence of the authorities' weakness and fear of impartial and unbiased information. This is stated by the AND movement of political immigrants of Azerbaijan.
To date, all Embassies accredited in Azerbaijan are subscribers to the bulletins of this impartial and independent agency. Even the press service of the country's Foreign Ministry is subscribed to Turan IA bulletins.
