Media Review for December 1

The results of the Second Karabakh War, activities in the liberated territories, and banking benefits provided for soldiers and officers of the Second Karabakh War are topics of today's media.

The newspaper Azerbaijan writes that the victory in the Second Karabakh war proved that justice can be restored without the participation and support of the West. In addition, it was proved that one should not hope for justice in the West. In this victory, both the military force and the far-sighted political and diplomatic steps of Ilham Aliyev, during which he paid special attention to the building of the army, played a big role.

The website Müsavat.com discusses the issue of further activities in the territories liberated from the occupation, and the economic potential of these territories has become the main topic of discussion. Experts believe that expectations of large returns from available natural resources are not based on real estimates.

According to experts, the oil and gas sector provides 95% of the added value created by the mining industry based on natural resources in Azerbaijan. The annual volume of added value created by precious and other types of metals does not exceed 100 million manats. And this is 0.12% of the existing GDP. Experts believe that tourism has great potential if this issue is properly organized. Here we can talk about 1.5 billion dollars. Other experts believe that agriculture is a major potential. The total area of ​​land suitable for agriculture is 535 thousand hectares.

The website Bizimyolinfo.az discusses the issue of bank debts of soldiers and officers - participants of the Second Karabakh War. Experts propose to freeze payments to soldiers and officers for 6 months. Statistical analysis shows that about 20 thousand soldiers and officers can have credit payments. However, for banks this is not such a large amount. Experts remind that clause 6 of loan agreements provide for force majeure.     --0-----
