Azerbaijan to reduce staff  at Sputnik and BBC editorial offices  in  the country

ArmInfo. Azerbaijan will limit the operations of the editorial offices of Sputnik-Azerbaijan and BBC News Azerbaycanca. This was reported by Azerbaijani pro- government media, citing a reliable source.

It is noted that the Azerbaijan aims to restore a balance in the  working conditions between its state-owned publications abroad and  foreign journalists in Azerbaijan.  "Thus, the number of employees at  Sputnik-Azerbaijan will be reduced to match the number of journalists  from the AZERTAC agency in Russia - down to 1 person, from the  current 40. The same action will be taken with BBC Azerbaycanca," an  unnamed source said.
