Noting that media representatives and intellectual figures from different countries have been invited to the Forum, the Assistant to the President mentioned that innovative ideas and diverse perspectives are taking shape here. “It is significant that this forum is being convened in the post-conflict period, in a city that once scarred by war, but is now undergoing a process of reconstruction,” he underlined.
Hikmet Hajiyev emphasized that the Forum provides a direct platform for engagement with President Ilham Aliyev, offering participants insight into the region’s ongoing development.
Highlighting that the Azerbaijani media is celebrating its 150th anniversary this year, the Presidential Assistant underlined that since the publication of the first Azerbaijani newspaper, “Akinchi,” by Hasan bey Zardabi, the Azerbaijani national press has undergone a remarkable path of development. “Despite the strict censorship of the time, “Akinchi” addressed topics such as evolution, enlightenment, and social progress. The newspaper laid a vital foundation for the emergence of new ideas and the spread of enlightenment,” Hajiyev added.
