Five days passed, but the Press Council still "does not notice" the closure of the APA information holding

Five days have passed sincethe closure of the websites of the APA information holding, employing about 200 journalists and technical staff, but the Press Council of Azerbaijan have not make any statement, have not addressed tothe government and the president, have not even show any interest in closing the agency, even formally.

Aflatun Amashev, the chairman of the Press Council, quickly responded to the detentionof the editor-in-chief of the Yeni Chag website, Agil Aleskerly on the border for smuggling, who according to media reports isclose to presidential assistant Ali Hasanov. Amashev took a direct part in the liberation of the "smuggler". In the social environment, they say that Aleskerly regularly exported from Azerbaijan smuggled money of a high-ranking functionary, who oversees the media. A.Amashev and the members of the Press Council are not interested in the fate of the AP agency, despite the fact that the director of this agency Vusala Mahirgizi appears in the ranks of the board of the Press Council.

A. Amashev may object, saying that the director of APA herself informed in Facebook that APA websites had been closed by the decision of the holding's management. This unconvincing statement does not absolve the Press Council of responsibility for the fate of about 200 media employees who are in the care of their families ...

The expert in the field of media, Alesker Mammadli,spoke better and laconically about closing (maybe temporarily), saying that the holding has been closed by the order of its true owner. V.Mahirgizi is not the owner of the holding. To paraphrase Mammadli it is possible to say so: "God gives - God takes."
