Azzaman

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Azzaman is a daily Iraqi newspaper. It publishes a domestic edition in Baghdad and is distributed across Iraq, and it maintains an international edition published in English, and is also available online. A recent poll conducted by researchers at Baghdad University found that readers in southern Iraq regard Azzaman as "neutral and independent" as well as "highly objective", and that it is the most popular news source in the area.[1] The international edition is fiercely critical of the U.S. occupation in its editorials, accusing U.S. leaders of violating "every single article of international conventions laid down to regulate the behavior of occupation troops"[2] and of deploying "shallow, naive, and childish" rhetoric to defend their goals in the region.
