Media Review for February 1

The Sfera.az website discusses the situation on the car market with expert Ramil Osmanli. According to him, the softening of the krantin regime and the stability of the manat have a positive effect on the car market.

There is some activity. While it is difficult to say anything about prices, but the interest in buying cars is growing, the expert said.

The website Modern.az writes about the visit of the General Prosecutor of Armenia Artur Davtyan to Khankendi and the meetings he held. The visit itself and the meetings are illegal. This is happening despite a warning from official Baku not to make such trips to officials from Armenia.

Only Armenians living in Karabakh can have a visa-free entry permit. Citizens of Armenia are not allowed such entry. Such entry must be in accordance with international legal regulations.

The website Bizimyol.info.az writes about the illogicality of bans and permits in Azerbaijan related to the coronavirus pandemic. The author claims that Azerbaijan is the only country in the world where logic works against the law. Weddings are prohibited in the country. The inconsistency is that restaurants are open, transport is packed daily, and weddings are not allowed.

The Yenisabah.az website discusses the military-economic relations in the South Caucasus against the background of the visit of the head of the NK separatists Arayik Harutyunyan to Yerevan. Political analysts believe that in Yerevan Harutyunyan discussed the issue of disbanding the NK self-defense army and the fact that Armenia will not send soldiers to serve in Karabakh.

The complexity of the situation is that Armenia is interested in the dissolution of the armed formations in Karabakh, while Karabakh itself and Russia are not interested in this. According to political analysts, Armenia is more interested in breaking the blockade than in the fate of Karabakh. The presence of Turkey in the South Caucasus means the absence of the "Republic of Artsakh".
