Plaintiff Elchin Mammad and his representative Asabali Mustafayev participated in the hearing.
Asabali Mustafayev said that according to Law On Television and Radio Broadcasting, the National TV and Radio Council should publish the list of free frequencies every year and should conduct a tender on these frequencies.
