"The Health Ministry is guilty that press conference has not been held. We have appealed for this meeting many times. But Health Minister Ogtay Shiraliyev delays the meeting," chairman of the Press Council Aflatun Amashov stated.

According to APA, journalists experience difficulties to get information from some ministries.

Amashov said that Health Ministry does not want to meet with media. Amashov expressed his hope that meeting would also be held in a few days.

Health Ministry spokesman Samaya Mammadova told that the meeting has not been held due to short of time. She said that the date for the press conference will depend on the situation.

"We don't want to avoid meeting. Simply, we have a lot to do now."

Press Council initiated Journalist-Minister project a month ago to solve the problems journalist experience while obtaining information.

The first meeting was held with Education Minister Misir Mardanov. Although such meetings were planned to be held twice a month, rejection of the invited ministers left the project incomplete.
