Elchin Shikhli: I like to be independent
“I have already talked a lot about the reasons for the closure of the newspaper. I say again that currently it is difficult financially to support the independence of the newspaper. There is another point. I myself like to be independent, and if my independence under threat, and this threat creates newspaper, I have to make a choice: either to keep the newspaper, trampling my dignity, or to abandon the newspaper, so as not to lose my own liberty, said Elchin Shikhli, the editor of the newspaper “Ayna-Zerkalo”, in his interview with “Objective TV. .
Replying the question if the decision to close the newspaper is due to the arrest of Rauf Mirkadirov, editor said it was the impetus. “It is very hard because Mirkadyrov was a leading member of the newspaper. His articles provided readability,” said Shikhli comparing Mirkadirov with striker of “Barcelona”, Messi.
Being asked if the leaving by Shikhli the Press Council is due to the refusal of the Media State Support Fund to finance the newspaper, the editor replied: “Fund did not refuse financing. A large contract was signed for three months. Twenty articles were to be published within a month on the relevant topic. After the newspaper was transferred from daily to weekly, I could not fulfill the contract, and was proposed to publish four or five articles instead of 20. Basically, not me but they violated the terms of the contract,” said Shikhli.
He also noted that appealed to the Press Council. The newspaper “The Mirror” is one of the founders of the Press Council, and therefore should pay attention to the situation in which the newspaper is currently. However, it did not give significant results.
Answering the question is it possible to resume publication of the newspaper, Shikhli said that he does not lose a hope, but does not want the newspaper be published by some “one-off” infusion, it makes no sense to publish newspapers on such terms, said Shikhli. As for the way out, then “public demand” is necessary. “If a company needs something, it should t announce it in any form,” said Elchin Shikhli.
