The road infrastructure of Azerbaijan, whether there is a need for building a nuclear power plant in the country, the likelihood of a rise in price of products on the eve of the New Year holiday are the leading topics of today's media.
The newspaper Azerbaijan writes about the road infrastructure of the country. According to the Global Competition Report of the World Economic Forum, according to the quality index meeting the world standard, Azerbaijan ranks 34th in the world among 140 countries. Since the beginning of 2018, more than 2,000 km of highways connecting 600 villages have been carried out.
The newspaper Yeni Musavat talks about Azerbaijan"s need for an atomic power station. As is known, Rosatom addressed this proposal to Azerbaijan.
MP Ali Masimli expresses his opinion in this regard, recalling that this topic was already discussed in Soviet times. Now the Russian proposal has two goals - earnings and strategic effectiveness. In addition, the construction of nuclear power plants is quite expensive, the cost of one reactor ranges from 2 to 5 billion dollars. In addition, we must not forget about the seismic risk, recalls the MP, as it happened in Japan.
The website Moderator.az writes about the pre-New Year price increase for food, although it happens every year. MP Vahid Ahmedov, commenting on this question, notes that the pre-holiday price increase is more subjective.
