The implementation of infrastructure and social projects, discussions around reforms, and energy supply of the population are the leading topics of today's media.
The Azerbaijan newspaper writes about the implementation of social and infrastructure projects in the country. From 2004 to this day, over 15 thousand km of the road were laid across the country. Last year alone, 2,000 km of the road was laid, and the road infrastructure of 920 villages, where 2.2 million people live, was improved. This year it is planned to lay about 1,000 km of roads. Last year, 100 thousand hectares of land was irrigated, and 300 sub-artesian wells are dug every year. This year it is supposed to dig the same. This year it is also planned to build a new housing for 5 thousand IDP families.
The website Unikal.org writes about the problem of corruption in the courts and discusses this issue with the MP Fazil Mustafa. The latter argues that the President of the country expresses a real intention to implement reforms. However, the MP doubts that everyone correctly understands these intentions, in particular, in the ruling team, which hinders the implementation of judicial reforms.
The instructions of the head of state regarding the ban on inspections of entrepreneurs are violated, the MP notes. The MP also touches upon personnel reforms, which are also imitative in nature.
The website Azpolitika.info writes about the discussion in Parliament of the issue of the limit on gas and electricity. Several MPs are for this, while several others are against. One of those against is an MP from the ruling party, Aydin Huseynov. In his opinion, the established limit creates conditions for savings. But the author believes the limit exacerbates the already difficult situation of the population. In areas, for example, people destroy forests, because the gas supply is insufficient.

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."
