Media Review for August 4

The fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, celebration houses awaiting weddings, and a look at the situation with the Karabakh conflict are topics of today's media.

The website Bizimyol.info quotes the opinion of Ilgar Aliyev, a senior researcher at the Sklifosovsky Research Institute, on the treatment of the COVID-19 pandemic in Azerbaijan.

He arrived in Azerbaijan as part of the Russian corps of doctors and works in the Sumgayit hospital №1.

 In this hospital, the most difficult is the state of resuscitation. There is a shortage of medical personnel and an insufficient level of the doctors. In particular, this concerns the misuse of the artificial respiration apparatus, which can lead to the death of the patient.

The Yeniavaz.com website discusses the situation with the celebration houses, which are on the verge of bankruptcy due to the lack of weddings, and cannot pay salaries to their employees. The owners claim that compensation was given in the first two months of the pandemic and nothing more.

Since March this year, weddings and commemorations have been banned in the country due to the coronavirus pandemic.

The website Ovqat.com cites the reasoning of the Turkish historian Burak Kolot about the latest exacerbation on the Armenian-Azerbaijani border.

The Armenians are trying to divert the attention of the world community from the Karabakh issue and that is why they decided to escalate far from Karabakh.

The events of July 12-14 in Tovuz pursued just such a goal.

Kolot believes that neither Russia nor international structures are interested in the war.

Russia sees Azerbaijan as a strategic partner, and the West cannot lose Azerbaijan, since it is an important security factor in the Caucasus.
