At the opening ceremony, the head of the East Azerbaijan Islamic Guidance and Culture Department, Mohammad Mohammadpur, called Azerbaijan a leading region of the country's media. He later said:

"The Azerbaijani press, which has a deep and broad history, needed a museum. Examples of the history of the Azerbaijani press can be seen dispersed at various institutions, bodies and people.
