The development of the digital process in Azerbaijan, teenagers visiting nightclubs, deceived apartment owners, and a sharp increase in imports are the leading themes of today's media.
The newspaper Azerbaijan writes about global digital processes and related opportunities for the country. According to McKinsey Qlobal Institute, the use of digital technologies will lead to an increase in GDP to the level of 3-6 trillion dollars worldwide by 2025.
As for Azerbaijan, the Azerbaijan Digital Hub program is currently being implemented. Digital infrastructure will help ensure the security of the country against cybercrime.
The website Modern.az writes about teenagers visiting night bars, wondering who lets them in there. This is a question and some others are on the agenda after the suicide of the 8th grader Elina Hajiyeva.
In social networks, there are proposals to close nightclubs, although this is also not an option, since clubs work legally and have permission to do so. The expert proposes to strengthen control and not to charge this function only to the police. It is necessary to connect the education authorities and the executive branch. The expert also concerns the topic of Internet cafes, which are open until 2-3 o'clock in the morning. Teenagers stay up late at their computers. This issue also needs to be controlled.
The website Bizimyol writes about citizens deceived by construction companies. The construction company GEN for 12 years has been deceiving its clients by taking money, but not handing over apartments to them. Citizens also express dissatisfaction and mistrust of the houses built by the construction company Rur MTK, because the houses are built without observing safety rules, and the real square does not correspond to that indicated in the agreements.
The website Azadliq.info addresses the problem of import growth, discussing it with the expert Rovshan Agayev. State Customs statistics say that so far in Azerbaijan, the average monthly import did not exceed $ 1 billion, and the annual one - $ 10.7 billion. For 3 months of 2019, imports to the country reached $ 3.135 billion. If this continues, then annual imports will reach $ 13 billion. -0----
