After the speech, made by the head of the Azerbaijani Presidential Administration Ramiz Mehdiyev at the meeting with the heads of the offices responsible for information provided to the governmental structures and the media, the news about the losses in Azerbaijani Army in early August have been deleted from the archives of the state-controlled media, writes the Azerbaijani newspaper "Azadlig".

As written in the article, in the course of this meeting Mehdiyev has sharply criticized the controlled media for having published information about the devastating losses in the Azerbaijani army in early August, and has told that all this information has been used by Armenia in the information war, and as a result this situation threatens information security of Azerbaijan.

One of the sources told the newspaper that after Mehdiyev’s statement where he told that he knew the names of all non-opposition media, which had published these materials, the oligarchs took this as a warning and immediately ordered to remove all the articles on losses from the press.

The article also reads that the director of the Azerbaijani news agency "Turan" Mehman Aliyev told in an interview with the "Voice of America" that the pro-government media receives about 20-30 million euros from the state as an informal assistance.
