Channel ans closed
Ans was one of the popular TV
Channels in Azerbaijan. It was a little different than other
Azerbaijani channels which are praising Ilham Aliyev all day and never give any
information abour political prisoners, rallies or demonstrations.
On July 15 there was an attempt of
coup in Turkish government and Fetullah Gulen was later accused by Turkey of
organizing coup. ANS had planned to take
interview with Fetullah Gulen.
The national Television and Radio
Council of Azerbaijan have accused ANS tv channel of propaganda against Turkey and
supporting Fetullah Gulen.
Teacher at Baku State University in the field of journalism
Zeynal Mammadli said “ The purpose to close ans channel is to restrict free
media”
