В Азербайджане приостановили лицензию на вещание телеканалу ANS TV

Регулятор СМИ Азербайджана приостановил действие лицензии самого популярного частного телеканала страны ANS TV. Этот шаг был предпринят после того, как телекомпания объявила, что покажет в своем эфире интервью с находящимся в изгнании турецким священнослужителем Фетхуллах Гюленом, который обвиняется в организации военного переворота в Турции, произошедшего в минувшие выходные.

В заявлении Национального совета по телерадиовещанию говорится, что "азербайджанская общественность, организации гражданского общества, выражают солидарность с турецким народом и решительно осуждают попытку свержения законно избранной власти. Тем не менее, телеканал ANS занял позицию, противоречащую духу братства и стратегическое партнерство между Азербайджаном и Турцией, проводя пропаганду против турецкого государства и правительства, выразив при этом поддержку организатору переворота в Турции, Фетхуллаху Гюлену".

В заявлении также говорится: "В соответствии со статьей 11, Закона Азербайджанской Республики по вопросам телевидения и радиовещания, а также принимая во внимание обращение генерального прокурора Азербайджана, с тем чтобы предотвратить провокацию, направленную на подрыв стратегических отношений между Турцией и Азербайджаном Национальный совет по телерадиовещанию принял решение о временной приостановке вещания телеканала ANS".

Было также сказано, что регулятор намерен подать иск против ANS TV, "и окончательное решение будет принято судом".

Во вторник президент группы компаний ANS, Вахид Мустафаев, и генеральный директор телеканала ANS, Миршахин Агаев, были вызваны в отдел по расследованию преступлений в Управление Генеральной прокуратуры.

ANS TV одно из наиболее независимых, непредвзятых и популярных телевидений в Азербайджане. Канал часто занимает жесткую позицию по карабахской проблеме. В прошлом уже были трудности между вещателем и правительством Азербайджана, но в последние годы стороны пришли к взаимоприемлемому методу работы и ANS приглушила свою критику в адрес правительства.

Moldova votes in crucial parliamentary elections

Moldova votes in crucial parliamentary elections

Moldova is voting in crucial parliamentary elections that will determine the country's future. Sunday's general election will be the most crucial since Moldova gained independence from the Soviet Union in 1991. Russia is doing all it can to divert the country from its European course. If a flood of videos on TikTok is to be believed, the people of Moldova are currently living through a reign of terror. These short videos claim that the country is being governed by a "dictatorship" of its pro-European President, Maia Sandu, and the ruling liberal-conservative Action and Solidarity Party (PAS). They also allege that this "puppet regime" has sold itself to the EU and NATO and US billionaire George Soros with a view to destroying Moldova's agriculture, "introducing LGBTQ ideology" and leading the country into a war against the Russian Federation. One of the people who posts such things on TikTok almost daily is former President Igor Dodon, a devoted follower of Russian President Vladimir Putin. Dodon is leader of the Party of Socialists of the Republic of Moldova (PSRM) and head of the Patriotic Electoral Bloc alliance. The logo of the alliance features a red-and-white star surrounding a heart with the Soviet hammer and sickle at its center. Dodon describes himself as right-wing and committed to "traditional values," closing his videos with the Orthodox Christian salutation "God help us!" This blend of hatred of Europe and the West, Soviet nostalgia, loyalty to the Kremlin, Orthodox Christian piety and right-wing populism appeals to a large part of Moldovan society, particularly in view of the precarious economic situation of many people in the country, especially pensioners. On Sunday, Moldovans go to the polls to elect a new parliament. This will be the first scheduled general election since Moldova and Ukraine were granted candidate status by the EU in 20 For months now, the poll has been seen as a pivotal election and one that could take the country either further along the road to the EU or back to Russia. Opinion polls in the country are considered notoriously unreliable. The unpredictability of the vote is further compounded by the fact that almost half of all voters have still not made up their mind who they are going to vote for. Even though Sandu's liberal-conservative, pro-European, anti-corruption civil rights party PAS is expected to remain the strongest party, it might lose the absolute majority it got in 2021. Two other electoral alliances that opinion polls indicate will be represented in the new parliament are both clearly pro-Russian. These are the Patriotic Electoral Bloc and the political alliance known as Alternative, which was founded by Mayor of Chisinau, Ion Ceban. Our Party (PN) is another party that could enter parliament. It was founded by businessman Renato Usatii, a political adventurer and populist who made his fortune in Russia and is hard to pin down politically. Usatii could end up holding the balance of power and determining whether the country keeps its pro-European government or gets a pro-Russian one.
