A look at early parliamentary elections and the likelihood of coronavirus affecting the economy of Azerbaijan are the topics of today's media.
The newspaper Azerbaijan evaluates the results of early parliamentary elections on February 9. It was one of the significant days inscribed in the history of the country. All conditions for holding free, fair and transparent elections were created, the article says.
Every election held in the country since 1995 can be regarded as a step forward on the road to democracy. This time the legislative, material and technical base of the elections was improved. There was a high organization of elections, and the election commissions worked without any violations.
The website Azadliq-info writes that the executive structures falsified the elections by the hands of teachers, forcing them to do things that are not related to their field of activity.
On the Teacher’s Day on October 5, they forced the teachers to go out on a “Saturday unpaid labor holiday”, digging the ground with shovels in their hand. One of the participants of the “unpaid labor holiday” opposed, recalling that it was Teacher’s Day, and after 30 minutes it was ordered to stop the event. It turns out that the district executive authorities did not know about the real holiday of the teachers.
The Bizimyol-info website writes about the possible impact of corona virus on the economy of Azerbaijan. We are talking about a possible appreciation of the dollar, a drop in oil prices and the impact of all this on Azerbaijan.
A decrease in China's use of oil means a 3% decrease in world oil use. It is not possible to prevent the epidemic of corona virus, therefore it is not clear how long this restriction will work. Naturally, all this cannot but affect the cost of Azerbaijani oil.
As for devaluation, linking it to economic processes is wrong. Devaluation is always inevitable, as long as the oil sector prevails in the economy, and there is no balance between imports and exports.
