Baku that celebrated on 19 December the start of ticket sales to matches of the European Grand Prix Formula 1, scheduled for June 19, 2016, has experienced the shock of the second devaluation today.
In grocery stores people buy products in bulk - a stock for a few days. In the small grocery stores selling is limited. Pharmacies, clothing, electronics and household stores are open, but sales are suspended there.
Prices for cars increased due to the devaluation. The inevitable process is the rise in prices for air tickets from the airline AZAL, as the base price is defined in the Euro. Meanwhile the airline does not comment on the situation. ---08D
