The role of state programs in the development of regions, the correspondence of salaries to mandatory health insurance, and impunity of judges are the topics of today's press.

The Azerbaijan writes about the importance of state programs in the development of the regions and about the progress in the non-oil sector and expansion of exports. Another success of these programs, according to the author, is strengthening the measures of social protection of the population, as well as minimal losses in the global crisis. All this and many other things have formed the basis for the creation of a new Azerbaijani model of economic development.

The Novoye Vremya published an article on mandatory unemployment insurance. After the adoption of the bill, employers and employees will have to make mandatory insurance payments in case the employee loses his job. The amount of social payments as a whole will be one percent of the wage fund, with 0.5% paid by the employee, and 0.5% paid by the employer. These funds will go to the State Employment Service.

The Echo writes about how to bring to justice judges who have violated the laws. The judge who issued an illegal sentence does not take any jeopardy.

An increase in the amount of a fine up to 10 times will not affect the work of incompetent or dishonest judges. At the present time, even 8,000 manat is not a serious sum for a fine, because the average bribe size is much larger than this amount. -0--
