“We are deeply disappointed by the decision not to renew the broadcast license of ANS Television and Radio,� US embassy in Baku stated.
“Democracy depends on a vibrant public discourse based on freedom of expression and a diversity of views.
The closure of Azerbaijan’s leading independent news broadcaster represents a severe blow to media freedom. This decision calls into question the Azerbaijani government’s commitment to democratic development and freedom of speech.
We strongly urge that this decision be reconsidered in a manner that supports media freedom,� the statement reads. /APA/
