Media Review - April 30, 2019

The role of Azerbaijan in international transit traffic, discussion of the law on bankruptcy, and a look at the activities of teachers in the light of the exam results are the leading topics of today's media.

The newspaper Azerbaijan writes about the transit role of the country in the light of the international project "One Belt, One Way". The second international forum on this project was held in Beijing on April 26-27.

Azerbaijan has a powerful flotilla of 260 ships that can transport Chinese goods to Europe from the Kazakh port of Aktau. Cargoes are also transported to Europe by

the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway. Thus, Azerbaijan is turning into an important transit country with a modern transport infrastructure, the author believes.

The newspaper Yeni Musavat writes about the discussion of the bankruptcy bill in the first reading in parliament on April 23. The expert Akram Hasanov, commenting on the bill, notes that along with the simplification of the bankruptcy process, with respect to individuals, the document is of a reactionary nature. That is, the right of individuals to bankruptcy will be liquidated. In fact, the situation that existed until October 2015 is being restored, denying the right of individuals to declare themselves bankrupt. The expert gives a more detailed comment on the bill.

The website Yenisabah.az discusses the issue of graduation and entrance exams. The expert also discusses the implementation of weak controls during the exams, due to interruptions in the work of the technical and security services. As a result, students were able to secretly remove questions from exams. The expert believes that negligence has been allowed when choosing teachers who supervise examinations. In order to avoid this in the future, the expert proposes a simplified organization of examinations, which will also contribute to the reduction of students' stress. -0-
