Today, a conference was held under the organization of the General Prosecutor's Office on "Ensuring the information security of the society in the conditions of media freedom and the growing influence of social networks".

APA informs that the General Prosecutor Kamran Aliyev, who opened the conference organized for the purpose of improving the information environment in Azerbaijan and preventing the circulation of inaccurate and questionable information, said that the violation of the rights and freedoms of citizens, aimed at weakening the defense capacity of the state, is aimed at the national security of Azerbaijan. If the actions and calls for security are made in any media or social network, the prosecutor's office must take decisive steps in accordance with the direction of action.

During the conference, it was discussed about the principles and results of the application of the acts of prosecutorial influence measures applied for violations of the law committed in the field of media in recent times, and the current problems in the application of the rules of professional conduct of journalists were discussed.

At the business event, ideas were effectively exchanged, proposals were voiced, and it was noted that these events will lead to important progress in correct information exchange.

Speaking later, the Chairman of the Press Council, Aflatun Amashov, proposed to establish a commission on media activity together with the General Prosecutor's Office.

He added that the Media Register will probably be adopted soon and the issuance of uniform licenses to journalists will begin: "I think that by educating the society with these steps, social network users can be influenced. If an educated journalist does not understand everything and does not love his country, I think that he cannot become a healthy citizen and a healthy journalist. At the same time, we must instill in journalists love for the motherland."

Aflatun Amashov also emphasized that cases of racketeering continue and expressed his support for tightening the law in the field of combating it.

At the event, Elmar Jamalov, Deputy Prosecutor General, Elnur Musayev, Head of the Department of Non-Prosecution Proceedings of the Prosecutor General's Office, Ahmed Ismayilov, Executive Director of the Media Development Agency, as well as heads of media organizations, representatives of higher education institutions and non-governmental organizations discussed the main issues facing the media.
