Azadlig writes that from now on only two issues of the newspaper can be published. In addition to the debt to the publisher, there are also additional problems, the paper’s Deputy Chief Editor Rahim Hajiyev said. Today's issue of the newspaper was printed at the very last moment, he said.
The publisher agreed to wait until 5 September on condition that most of the debt will be repaid. The paper’s position has become even more complicated after the arrest of the director for the dissemination, Faig Amirov.
