Media Review for January 12

The beginning of restoration work in the territories liberated from the occupation, the possibility of eliminating the strict quarantine regime after January 18, a look at the Moscow meeting on January 11, and the organization of psychological assistance are topics of today's media.

The Azerbaijan newspaper discusses the prospects for the development of the Karabakh region: restoration of the entire infrastructure of the region, construction of roads, as well as the airport in Fizuli. The destroyed cities will be completely restored to their former appearance.

The website Redaktor.az writes about the likelihood of canceling the strict quarantine regime after January 18. Experts say that the epidemiological situation has improved compared to the beginning of the month. However, the mitigation must occur gradually, otherwise the number of infected may increase, experts say. According to them, the preparation process for vaccination continues. The vaccination itself will take place gradually. Initially, about 20-30% of the population will be involved in vaccination.

The website Mətbuat.az asks the question, what does the Kremlin want from Azerbaijan? Political analysts are of the opinion that Moscow is worried about the lack of a legally secured status of peacekeepers. Russia wants to sign a legal document with Azerbaijan on this. However, the Azerbaijani side avoids signing any legal documents, but only monitors the fulfillment of the conditions. The main goal of the Moscow meeting was to restore communications, open borders and restore economic ties. Experts consider it expedient to create a tripartite government commission. At the same time, it is not yet clear how economic ties are possible between Azerbaijan and Armenia, while the latter has not abandoned its territorial claims.

Azpolitika.info discusses the January 11 Moscow trilateral meeting, noting that the entire organization of the meeting and Putin's speech raises questions. Attention was drawn to the absence of the flags of Azerbaijan and Armenia at the negotiating table, but only the flag of Russia, which is a manifestation of disrespect. That is, the organizers did not follow even the simple rules of the protocol. The author believes that everything in the room spoke of Russia's advantageous position.

The website Bizimyolinfo.az comments on the fact of the suicide of the soldier Yunis Mansurov, who returned safe and sound after the 44-day war. This was the impetus for the beginning of the provision of psychological assistance to the veterans of the Second Karabakh War. Experts believe that veterans need competent and qualified psychological assistance. For this, students studying in the last year of the Faculty of Psychology may be suitable.   –0---
