He said journalists of various media and people with different political views have received apartments in the new building.
“This shows lack of discrimination in any area in Azerbaijan. The Azerbaijani government will continue taking care of the press. It is not ruled out that the journalist town will be created around the building in the future,” President Ilham Aliyev said.
