The newspaper Azerbaijan assesses the visit of President Ilham Aliyev to Italy. In 2019, trade between Azerbaijan and Italy amounted to $ 6 billion. This is approximately one fifth of the total turnover of Azerbaijan. Italy satisfies 17% of its oil demand through supplies from Azerbaijan. The last visit of President Ilham Aliyev to Italy will be a new stage in the development of relations between the two countries.
The website Yeni Sabah.az writes about the development of the jewelry market in Azerbaijan, discussing this issue with expert Akif Nasirli. The latter recalled the recent meeting of the Minister of Economy Mikail Jabbarov with entrepreneurs, which spoke about the prospects for the development of jewelry and the jewelry market. According to the expert, first of all, it is necessary to reduce taxes and allocate loans for the development of this sphere of entrepreneurship in this area.

At the same time, it is necessary to deepen legal reforms. First of all, it is necessary to create a strong judiciary, which will be able to protect the rights of illegally dismissed teachers, doctors of lower rank officials who do not want to pay bribes.
The Azadliq.info website continues to discuss the topic of early parliamentary elections. According to the candidate for deputy Bakhtiyar Hajiyev, the current parliament cannot be considered legitimate, given the numerous irregularities and falsifications during the elections.
