Qanun (newspaper)

Qanun was a daily newspaper published in Azerbaijan. It was founded in 2001 and ceased publication in 2012. The newspaper was known for its independent and critical stance, often reporting on issues related to corruption and human rights abuses within the Azerbaijani government.

Qanun faced significant challenges during its operation, including pressure from authorities, financial difficulties, and limited access to printing facilities. Despite these obstacles, it maintained a loyal readership and contributed to the media landscape of Azerbaijan by providing an alternative perspective on current events.

The newspaper's name, "Qanun," translates to "Law" in Azerbaijani, reflecting its commitment to upholding the rule of law and holding power accountable. Its closure marked a setback for independent journalism in the country.
