TO IMMEDIATELY AFTER THE 8 P.M. NEWSCAST EACH SUNDAY. AS "AZERBAIJAN" DAILY GIVES OFFICIAL NEWS AND POLICY, "YEDDI GUN" SEEMS TO HAVE RECOME THE SOURCE FOR THE OFFICIAL ONE OF THE COMPANIES ON THE "LEGAL" LIST, "XACMAS" TV IN THE NORTH-EASTERN TOWN OF AZERBAIJAN, WAS OBLIQUELY CRITICIZED IN THE MINISTER'S STATEMENT FOR WHAT MUST HAVE BEEN LEZGI NATIONALIST PROGRAMS. XACMAS HAS A CONSIDERABLE (IF NOT PREDOMINANT) ETHNIC LEZGI POPULATION, AND THE MINISTER'S STATEMENT ACCUSED THE STATION'S PROGRAMS OF "NOT HELPING STRENGTHEN THE FRIENDLY INTER­ ETHNIC RELATIONS, BUT, ON THE CONTRARY, HEATING UP EMOTIONS..." IN ANOTHER OFFICIAL HAPPENING, THE STATE TV AND RADIO COMPANY HELD A BOARD OF DIRECTORS MEETING, AT WHICH PRESIDENT BABAK HUSEYNOGLU REPORTED ON THE COMPANY'S 1994 PERFORMANCE. ACCORDING TO HUSEYNOGLU, OBVIOUS SHORTCOMINGS -- NOTHING SPECIFIC WAS REPORTED IN THE MEDIA — WERE CAUSED NOT BY A LACK OF PROFESSIONALISM AMONG ITS EMPLOYEES OR THEIR ATTITUDE TO JOB, BUT BY TECHNICAL SHORTAGES. "AZERBAIJAN," THE OFFICIAL DAILY, JAN 19 PUBLISHED A STATEMENT BY SABIR RUSTAMXANLI, MINISTER OF PRESS AND INFORMATION. THE STATEMENT REMINDED "HEADS OF LOCAL EXECUTIVE AUTHORITIES AND ESTABLISHERS OF TV AND RADIO STATIONS" THAT EXISTING LAW PERMITS STATIONS TO GO ON THE AIR ONLY AFTER THEY REGISTER WITH THE PRESS MINISTRY AND OBTAIN THE PERMISSION OF THE MINISTRY OF COMMUNICATIONS; RUSTAMXANLI CRITICIZED PROVINCIAL SdATIONS WHICH BROADCAST WITHOUT SUCH PERMISSION. HE ADDED THAT THEIR PROGRAMS "ARE ON AN EXTREMELY LOW PROFESSIONAL LEVEL, ... SERVE THE INTERESTS OF VARIOUS GROUPS AND ARE OF NO ESTHETIC VALUE WHATSOEVER.... SERIOUS DISCONTENT IS CREATED AMONG PEOPLE, AND MORE COMPLAINTS ARE BEING SENT (TO THE MINISTRY). A MOVEMENT WHICH ONCE STARTED IN THE NAME OF DEMOCRACY AND FREEDOM OF SPEECH IS TAKING A DANGEROUS DIRECTION AND BECOMING AN IDEOLOGICAL PROVOCATION WHICH SHATTERS OUR SPIRITUAL FOUNDATIONS." THE STATEMENT LISTED THE TV AND RADIO COMPANIES WHICH HAVE THE PERMISSION TO GO ON THE AIR. IRONICALLY, INCLUDED WAS B.M.TI, WHOSE TV BROADCASTS WERE SUSPENDED LAST SPRING ON THE PRETEXT THAT IT HAD VIOLATED ITS AGREEMENT WITH THE MINISTRY OF TELECOMMUNICATIONS AND WAS INDEBTED TO THE MINISTRY. THE ACTUAL REASON, AS EVERYONE KNEW, WAS THAT "GUNAY" NEWSPAPER, OWNED BY B.M.TI'S OWNER, HAD CRITICIZED THE SPEAKER OF THE AZERBAIJANI PARLIAMENT. THE AZERBAIJANI MEDIA THAT ARE NOT WORTHY OF SEPARATE REPORTS, YET SHOULD NOT PASS UNREMARKED. END INTRO. F:\Cable\Data Source\Cables\CD01 l\FEB95\MSGS\M1501033.html / — Page 3 of 8 "SPIN." 7 .

QULIYEV WROTE THAT HE HAD LOST HIS PARENTS AS A CHILD AND HAD LIVED WITH HIS GRANDMOTHER "DURING THE PRESCHOOL PERIOD" OF HIS LIFE. INTRODUCING IT AS "GOOD NEWS FOR REVERED SALAHADDIN QULIYEV," AZADLIQ REPORTED THAT IT HAS "DISCOVERED" SALAHADDIN QULIYEVS FATHER, MALIK QULIYEV, WHO IS DIRECTOR OF THE SCHOOL IN SALAHADDIN'S NATIVE VILLAGE.

THE IMPRESSION FORMED BY THE REPORT THAT THESE MIGHT BE AMONG THE MOST POPULAR PUBLICATIONS IN AZERBAIJAN IS FALSE. THE MINISTRIES SIMPLY OBLIGED THEIR PERSONNEL TO SUBSCRIBE. MINISTER OF EDUCATION LIDIYA RASULOVA SIGNED ONE SUCH DECREE, WHICH WAS PUBLISHED IN "AZERBAIJAN MUALLIMI." THE "REQUEST" WAS ADDRESSED TO ALL THE MINISTRY'S VASSALS, STARTING WITH THE MINISTER OF EDUCATION OF THE NAXCIVAN AUTONOMOUS REPUBLIC DOWN TO HIGH SCHOOL DIRECTORS THROUGHOUT THE COUNTRY.
