Mass layoffs in the ITV?

Mass layoffs  are taking place on the Public Television of Azerbaijan. In particular,  On June 1 were  dismissed the director of the Information Department Elgun Ibrahimov, correspondent in Turkey Rahima Mirzoyeva and Dilgam Mirzoyev, correspondent for Central Asia Fizuli Mejidli and Reyhan Mejidli, senior editor Mais Aghayev, senior editor Esmira Gasimova, correspondent Dilaver Seyidov, the announcer  of the  programs in  the Russian language Tamilla Shirinova,  political commentator Bakhtiyar Salimov,  and a correspondent Rauf Nabiyev, according to the report  on social networks on behalf of journalists who disagree with the personnel policy at the ITV. The authors claim that the decision  on layoffs  was taken in the absence of the country's General Director ITV Jamil Guliyev.

Illegality of some layoffs  is noted,  as department heads may fired  only  by the Council of  ITV, and not CEO.  The upcoming dismissal of 7-8 employees this week is reported. Turan failed to get the comments in the ITV. In recent months, a wave of layoffs and salary cuts affected all pro-government media and TV channels. In addition, several websites and publications financed by oligarchs, high-ranking state officials and others stopped activity. -06В-
