The press undoubtedly plays a very important role in shaping the mentality of every nation. The press had a very important place in the establishment of the Azerbaijan Democratic Republic and the preservation of independence. Today we will talk about July 22, Azerbaijan National Press Day. Ekinci newspaper, published in Baku by the Azerbaijani intellectual Hasan Bey Zardabi in 1875, is considered a turning point in press history.

"Kaşkül", "Fuuzat", "Ziya", "Ziya-Kafkâziye", "East-Russian", "Life", "Dabistan", "Life", "Development", "Truth", "School", "Open" Newspapers and magazines such as "Söz", "İrşad", "Molla Nasiruddin" had an important place in the development of the press sector.
