Economic development of the country, discussion of the issue of compulsory real estate insurance, and a look at municipal elections are topics of today's media.
The newspaper Azerbaijan writes about the economic development of the country: large oil contracts, their importance for the development of the economy, as well as large international transport projects and state programs for the development of the country's regions.
As a result of the implementation of the three programs, over 640 medical facilities, as well as 3,200 schools, were built and repaired in the regions.
The website Modern.az discusses municipal elections, noting that they are too sluggish, and the dissolution of parliament on December 5 left the municipal elections in the shade.
In 2014, the number of people wishing to become members of municipal bodies was 38 thousand. The number of people wishing to take part in the current municipal elections is 42 thousand. This is an indicator of growing interest in these elections, MP Kamran Babayev said. However, MP Tahir Rzayev believes that the sluggishness of the campaign for municipal elections is due to the low activity of the candidates themselves.
The website Marja.az writes about compulsory real estate insurance and discusses this issue with the expert Akram Hasanov. He considers compulsory property insurance improper. In fact, the provision on compulsory insurance of real estate is reflected in the second section of the law "On Compulsory Insurance" since 2011.
The cost of insurance in Baku is 50 manats, in Ganja, Sumgait and Nakhchivan - 40 manats, and in other areas - 30 manats.
In recent days, the population has received alerts about the need to pay compulsory property insurance. However, the executive authorities did not do this, so it turns out that insurance companies themselves are the authors of these alerts in order to raise money by the end of the year. The expert believes that citizens should be free to choose whether or not to insure their property. Property insurance should not be compulsory.
