Musavat chairman - friend of journalists

Musavat chairman Isa Gambar has been awarded the "Friend of journalists" prize in a ceremony at the Baku Entertainment Center Monday.

The annual award was founded by the Committee for human rights of journalists, "Ruh", 4 years ago. Winners of the award are chosen through a poll among journalists.

According to the 2000 poll results, the second award remained unoccupied, while third has been won by the chairman of the Civil Solidarity Party Sabir Rustamkhanli and minister for education Misir Mardanov.

Also to be established is the "Enemy of journalists" award. Chairman of the committee Aflatun Amashov says a politician most hostile to journalists will soon be named.
