Media Review for December 3

The return of the population to the liberated lands, the calculation of damage in the Lachin region, the cost of the military equipment lost by the Armenians in the Second Karabakh War, and the situation with the coronavirus are the topics of today's media.

The website Yenisabah.az discusses the issue of the return of Armenians to Karabakh with the support of Russian peacekeepers, as well as the return of Azerbaijanis.

MPs from Khojaly and Khankendi say residents of these regions are waiting for permission to return to their homes. Moreover, they expect permission not from the Russian peacekeepers, but from the country's leadership. In addition, all liberated territories must be cleared of mines. Certain security measures must also be implemented, and then the population will be returned on schedule. The deputies believe that people should not ask permission from Russian peacekeepers to return to their native lands.

The website Redaktor.az discusses the damage caused to the Lachin region as a result of the occupation. 28 years ago, during the occupation of the region, 264 civilians were killed, 65 became hostages, and 103 people lost their ability to work.

Before the occupation, livestock and agriculture were mainly developed in the region. In addition, tobacco growing, viticulture, fruit growing, grain growing, beekeeping were developed.

Industrial enterprises that existed on the territory of the region before the occupation were mainly engaged in the processing of raw materials. Damage to Lachin during the occupation is estimated at 10 billion manats.

The website Bizimyolinfo.az writes about the cost of the destroyed Armenian military equipment during the 44-day war, which is estimated at several billion dollars.

The website Oxu.az writes about the situation with the coronavirus, noting that sooner or later 90% of the population will get sick with it. Doctors believe that despite all the measures taken, the number of infected is growing. Statistics of recent weeks indicate a significant increase in cases and there is no hope for improvement yet. Today, in hospitals, there are mainly patients of moderate severity and seriously ill patients. Social irresponsibility of citizens contributes to the growing number of infected people.
