Azadlig writes about the possibility of a ban on the sale of the energy drinks Red Bull and Jaguar in Azerbaijan, in which Cahan Holding is engaged. The newspaper regards it as a blow to the head of the Nakhchivan Autonomous Republic Vasif Talibov, controlling the holding company.

The "prisoner of conscience" Tofig Yagublu denounced the pro-government NGO representatives for the destruction of the stand on the problem of political prisoners in Azerbaijan during an international event.

Thus, "the chief editor, saving the authorities, sank himself," writes the columnist for Azadlig, alluding to Arifoglu’s cooperation with the authorities.
