Azerbaijan State News Agency (AZERTAC; Azerbaijani: Azərbaycan Dövlət İnformasiya Agentliyi, shortened as AZƏRTAC) is the official news agency of the Republic of Azerbaijan. From November 2022, Vugar Aliyev served as chairman of the board.[1]

Along with the official state news, Azerbaijan State News Agency releases information on politics, economy, education, science, culture, health, sports and environment in eight languages such as Azerbaijani, Russian, English, French, German, Spanish, Arabic and Chinese.[2]

History[edit]

AZERTAC was established on 1 March 1920.[3][4] Throughout the Soviet period, the agency held various names and after restoration of Azerbaijani independence in 1991, the agency name was restored. From 1995 to 2000, the agency was named State Telegraph Agency under Cabinet of Ministers, then was renamed to Azerbaijan State Telegraph Agency.[5] On 26 February 2015, president Ilham Aliyev signed an order to rename Azerbaijan State Telegraph Agency to the Azerbaijan State Information Agency (AZERTAC).[6]
