Origins
Open Talk began on 10 September 2011, as a first face-to-face television debate between political parties. It was originally intended to have only a short run, but the program became very popular and was duly extended. Political leaders labeled as “radical opposition”
and blacklisted for over a decade, appeared in the debate. Since its launch, Sevinj Osmanqizi has been the program's presenter.
