The possibility of toughening the quarantine regime due to the increase in the number of infected people, the fall in the exchange rate of the national currencies of Turkey and Russia and the influence of this factor on Azerbaijan, the likelihood of closing beauty salons and restaurants, and Erdogan's statement about a trip to Shusha are topics of today's media.
The website Redaktor.az comments on the possibility of toughening the quarantine regime with MP Fazil Mustafa. He believes that with an increase in the number of infected, you can go to isolation, since the life and health of people is more important. At the same time, the deputy believes that isolation will lead the people to even greater impoverishment, since now the payment of 190 manats is unrealistic, and for many people this money is not available at all.
The website Sfera.az discusses the situation with the fall in the value of the Turkish lira and the Russian ruble. World oil prices are an important indicator in this context, because about 85% of the currency entering the country comes from the energy sector. Currently, oil prices are at an acceptable level. However, one should take into account the high volatility in the oil market. Azerbaijan's trade turnover with Turkey is about $ 4.5 billion and more than $ 3 billion with Russia, which is 23% of foreign trade turnover.”
Müsavat.com discusses the likelihood of closing beauty salons and restaurants if the quarantine regime is tightened. The author notes that the number of patients in intensive care hospitals is constantly increasing. If we do not take tough measures, the situation will become more complicated. If the increase in the number of infected continues at the same pace, then the closure of restaurants and salons is inevitable.
The Yenisabah.az website believes that Erdogan's statement about visiting Shusha after Ramazan is intended to prevent the strengthening of Russian influence in Karabakh and the creation of a military base there.

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."
