Azerbaijani independent news agency "Turan" ceases its activities in  its current format

ArmInfo.The Azerbaijani independent news agency "Turan" has announced that it will be ceasing  its activities in its current format. The statement was published on the agency's website.  Note that ArmInfo has been cooperating with "Turan" since 1992.

In his address, the Director of the news agency Mehman Aliyev said,  in particular:  "Dear readers!  For over thirty years, Turan News  Agency has been a pillar of independent journalism in Azerbaijan,  providing objective and reliable news in a time of political and  economic instability. Established in 1990 - in the final days of the  Soviet Union - our agency has remained committed to protecting the  public interest through the difficulties of transition, war and  reform.

However, today we are faced with an inescapable reality: due to  ongoing financial difficulties, it is no longer possible to continue  our information activities in the current format. Despite our  constant efforts to secure the necessary resources to continue, the  financial difficulties that have plagued us for many years have  finally forced us to make the difficult decision to cease the  agency's activities in its current format.

This is not the end of our mission, but rather a new stage of  development. The information space is changing rapidly, and we  understand the importance of adapting to these changes. In the coming  months, we will work on a new format that, in addition to  broadcasting news, will analyze the processes of the world, the  region and our country, identify key problems and offer solutions.  The future of modern journalism is not only to report news, but also  to shape public opinion.  We are deeply grateful to you - our readers  - for the trust and support you have shown us. Your interest and  participation have been the driving force behind our work, and we  hope to continue this journey with you in a new and more meaningful  way. While we are stepping back from our current model, we are not  abandoning our core purpose - to be an independent voice that helps  us understand an increasingly complex world.  Turan's story is not  over yet. Stay with us."
