Media review for April 5

A missile strike on Shusha during the Second Karabakh War, discrimination by Russian peacekeepers, the arrest of the former head of the capital's mayor's office, the reasons for the tightening of quarantine are the topics of today's media.

The site “Moderator.az” discusses the illegal actions of the Russian peacekeepers on the territory they control. So, when the Azerbaijani transport passes through the Lachin corridor, the Russians demand to lower the flag of Azerbaijan. At the same time, Russian and Armenian flags are flying in Khojaly. The same flags fly over the airport nearby.

The website “Müsavat.com” discusses the arrest of the former chief of staff of the Baku mayor's office, Rasim Guliyev. It is quite possible that the former mayor Abutalibov himself will not be arrested in this regard, but the investigation will have many questions for him. In any case, Rasim Guliyev could not handle all these illegal cases alone.

Immediately after Abutalybov left the post of the capital's mayor, checks began in this structure. Checks were also carried out in institutions under the jurisdiction of the capital's executive power. The new mayor, Eldar Azizov, began "cleansing" the mayor's office and investigated the facts of illegal construction.

The Sfera.az website discusses with Professor Adyl Geybulla the situation with the COVID-19 pandemic, noting the need to introduce strict quarantine measures when the number of infected grows. In addition, if live communication is not minimized, then the tightening of quarantine will not bring any benefit. The professor believes that until the situation gets worse, some restrictions should be adopted.
