Media Review for February 18, 2020
Possible punishment for falsifying elections, matching education to the labor market, and social concerns of citizens are the topics of today's media.
The website Modern.az discusses the possibility of punishment for fraud during the election. If the results of voting in specific constituencies are canceled, then these cases should be sent to the prosecutor. For such violations, fines ranging from 1,500 to 7,000 manat are determined, as well as real terms of imprisonment.
Three years of imprisonment are allowed for falsification during voting, and 7 years of imprisonment for abuse of authority.
The Bizimyol.info website writes about a new rally of candidates for deputies, which took place in front of the CEC building on February 17. According to candidates Khalid Bagirov and Bakhtiyar Hajiyev, voting in their constituencies was also accompanied by serious violations.
Both candidates demand an answer to their complaints about this. However, police forces ousted candidates and deputies gathered outside the CEC building yesterday, preventing them from entering the building.
The website Modern.az writes that current education does not always meet the requirements of the country's labor market. Today, there are specialties on the labor market that do not meet the requirements of the time and are not adequate to the labor market of foreign countries.
A number of experts consider it necessary to abandon the use of foreign experience in this country in our country and to abolish the Bologna system and the Curriculum.
The website Marja.az discusses the topic of buying cars. The terms of the loan for the purchase of cars are difficult, so people prefer used cars. This worsens the environment, increasing the release of toxic substances. The most difficult situation on the Absheron Peninsula and experts suggest accelerating the transition to electric cars and hybrid cars.
About 1 million 500 thousand cars are in operation in the country, most of which have expired. For those who want to buy a car, banks require an advance payment of 40% of the cost, and loans are offered at 15-17% per annum, which is very unprofitable.
