The fight against a new mutation of the coronavirus, an artificial shortage of drugs in pharmacies, problems in the tourism sector, the need for the arrival of the Turkish military in Azerbaijan are the topics of today's media.
The newspaper “Azerbaijan” writes that the new strain of coronavirus is spreading 70% faster. In general, the coronavirus mutated many times after its appearance. This swiftness has caused panic in a number of countries. It remains to be seen how the coronavirus vaccine will behave against the new strain.
The website “Yenisabah.az” writes about the problem of creating an artificial shortage of drugs in pharmacies. According to the deputy Akhliman Amiraslanov, health care expenditures have been significantly increased in the state budget and this is the first time. Most of the funds will go towards compulsory insurance. From January 2021, health insurance will be applied in 36 districts and cities.
The site “Redaktor.az” writes about the situation in the field of tourism. In connection with the pandemic in this area, stagnation, since hotels, restaurants are closed, travel companies are in a difficult situation. Even inter-district communication does not work. The resuscitation of the tourism sector is impossible without the complete elimination of the coronavirus pandemic, after which it is necessary to introduce new types of tourism. We need marketing work, development of new tourist routes.
The Azpolitikainfo website discusses the arrival of the Turkish military in Azerbaijan. The processes after the Second Karabakh War are not at all in favor of Azerbaijan. Russian peacekeepers are going far beyond the borders of the joint statement signed on November 10. Requirements for the disarmament of several thousand Armenian soldiers are not being met, and communications important for Azerbaijan have not yet been opened. The arrival of the Turkish military is capable of stopping anti-Azerbaijani activities.

The closure of Azerbaijan's land borders was discussed during the parliamentary session on November 25. While the government’s decision cites the coronavirus pandemic as the main reason—despite the World Health Organization declaring its end last year—Zahid Oruj, Chair of the Human Rights Committee in the Milli Majlis, pointed to other factors. He stated, "Opening the borders could result in an influx of hundreds of thousands of non-Azerbaijani refugees due to the Russia-Ukraine war. Additionally, in Iran, many are prepared to cross into Azerbaijan to safeguard their lives and assets amid military strikes. Such waves of refugees could lead to humanitarian, social, and cultural clashes that may threaten political stability."
