Reforms in the economic field, the death of road cleaners, the level of dollarization of banks, and the resignation of the head coach of the Azerbaijani football team are the topics of today's media.

The author also talks about the creation of the State Center for Agrarian Development, regarding this as the formation of a new system of relations.
The State Center is created to eliminate obstacles in the development of the agricultural sector, the implementation of the unified leadership of local branches of the ministry, and the use of electronic services and innovative technologies. Farmers" and coordination councils will be created at the State Centers, which will greatly simplify the work of agricultural workers and will study the problems of farmers.
The website Modern.az writes about the recent increase in traffic accidents with street cleaners. The number of victims is growing due to speed driving, experts say. However, the cleaners themselves are showing inattention and negligence during heavy traffic on the roads.
The author cites the example of practice in Georgia, where the roads are swept at 5 a.m by men, not women.
