The activity of press secretaries and PR departments of state institutions has been discussed on "Towards the Solution" talk-show of Azerbaijan Television.
Press Secretary of the "Azersu" OJSC Anar Jabrayilli, head of the Press Service of Baku Transport Agency Mais Aghayev, editor-in-chief of BakuPost.az news website Elchin Zahiroglu, editor-in-chief of lent.az website Gabil Abbasoglu were the guests of the talk-show.
It was noted during the discussions that there was a lack in the field of PR in some institutions and that some departments did not do their job properly. At the same time, it was highlighted that there are also enough institutions which do their work at a professional level.
Press Secretary of the "Azersu" OJSC Anar Jabrayilli said that in general, press secretaries work normally: "Maybe, sometimes, a press secretary would not be able to pick up the phone, and it would be necessary to clarify some issue. However, it does not mean that they cannot fulfill their duties".
Press Secretary of Baku Transport Agency Mais Aghayev complained about journalists: "There are some journalists, editors who put the institution on the "black list". A person, who cannot use "BakuCard", heads a website. He writes on his account that Baku Transport Agency embezzles money of people. Despite the fact that he was proven wrong, he put the institution on the "black list" for 3 years, published materials".
