RADICAL AZERBAIJANI OPPOSITION PAPER CEASES PUBLICATION

Published in News Digest

By empty (11/16/2004 issue of the CACI Analyst)

The opposition daily \"Yeni Musavat\" ceased publication on 16 November due to major financial problems. The paper, which has a track record of not always checking facts prior to publication, has lost a series of libel suits brought by senior officials in which the court imposed draconian fines and sequestered the paper\'s bank accounts. As a result, it is in debt to the privately owned publishing house Chap Evi, which has refused to publish further issues as the paper cannot pay in advance for supplies of newsprint.
