Additional information:

On August 19th, an error appeared on the site's DNS server's technical record, in which in the word "cloudflare", 0 (zero) was written instead of the letter "o". It looks similar, but in fact all traffic to the site now does not reach it. The communications service responsible for regulating the TJ domain zone, which received an error notification from Asia-Plus, has not yet fixed it. The agency has completely lost two official domains - news.tj and asiaplus.tj/
