The activities of the Equinor oil company in Azerbaijan, discussion of the topic of compulsory insurance and undocumented houses, and the causes of fires in shopping centers are topics of today's media.
The Azerbaijan newspaper writes about the activities of the Norwegian company Equinor (formerly Statoil). The company has been operating in Azerbaijan since 1992. Currently, preparations are underway for the development of the Karabakh field. Recently, the heads of SOCAR and Equinor identified measures to accelerate the implementation of the project.
The first production from the field is expected in 2021.
The Karabakh field is located 120 km from Baku, in the sea at a depth of 150-200 meters.
The website Modern.az writes about compulsory real estate insurance, which will be applied from 2020 in 4 stages. However, before that, it is necessary to solve the problem with the documentation of thousands of houses. The head of state has repeatedly instructed on this issue, but so far there is no concrete result, although there are more than 700 thousand such houses.
The website Ovqat.com discusses the causes of fires using the example of the shopping center Euro Home. Frequent fires in shopping centers raise many questions. This may be an open sabotage of reform.
It is necessary to resolve the issue of insurance for damage.
All this comes from total negligence and indifference.
