According to “Kar” news agency of Iran and “Armenia” newspaper of
Athens, on March 12 the press supervision department of the Iran’s
Culture Ministry closed down Azeri “Navide Azerbaijan” Turkish-language
newspaper that had existed for 8 years. The reason for banning the
paper was the violation of articles 4 and 5 of the law on press that
prohibits inciting citizens to acts threatening national security
and expression of nationalistic attitude.
