Meanwhile, the CEO of ANS Mirshahin Agayev told reporters that after the "recent events" he optimistic about the fate of the channel. "We always look forward to the court of justice. We hope that the Azerbaijani court as the embodiment of law and the right to say their word," Agayev said. He also expressed confidence that the President of Azerbaijan "will never surrender ANS».
