Further, he mentioned the implementation of the self-employment program this year, which is allocated 30 million manat. The President said this program will involve 6-7 thousand families, but he did not specify what this program implies. However, he added that the state will provide support to low-income families, provide free of charge necessary equipment and means to enable people to establish their business.
"If every year we create similar conditions for 6-7 thousand families, then no one will need social assistance," he added.

"On the eve of the 2003 elections, I said that if the people trust me, then first of all I will deal with the problems of the regions. Rapid socio-economic development will begin in the regions. The past 14 years have shown that these promises have been fully implemented, "Aliyev said.
