Day.az

Not to be confused with Azerbaijan Today.

day.az is an Azerbaijani news portal established in 2003 by MP Anar Mamedkhanov,^[1] trading as the Day.Az Media Company. The content is published in Russian (day.az), English (today.az) and in Azeri (milli.az) since February 1, 2010.^{[2][3][4][5][6][7][8]}

Disruptions

The operators of Day.az claim that they were the victim of cyberattacks during the 2008 South Ossetia war. On 11 August 2009, Day.az and ANS Press were disrupted, with day.az being inaccessible for almost two hours.^[9]

On 18 February 2009 the portal became inaccessible, and on the following day the domains day.az and today.az were removed from the .az TLD. Reports concerning the cause ranged from speculation about "political mistakes", hackers, to creation of a new website.^[1][10]

The sale process was triggered by the interview of Boris Berezovsky who is in exile in UK which angered Russian president of the time, Vladimir Putin, who demanded the shut-off the website. Later the website was reopened by Trend News Agency management, loyal to the existing government.
