Media Review for January 13

The country's international economic successes, the fight against the COVID-19 pandemic, and assessments of the Moscow trilateral meeting on January 11 are the topics of today's media.

The newspaper Azerbaijan writes that the country ranks 28^th among 190 countries in terms of economic success. The economies of oil countries are always at risk, since energy prices are regulated not by the market, but by the interests of the world's leading countries.

The private sector plays an important role in the country's economy, therefore, Azerbaijan provides it with comprehensive support at the state level. Therefore, the private sector suffered minimal damage.

80% of industrial products are produced in the private sector. In addition, fundamental reforms in the field of entrepreneurship development are being implemented in the country, the legal framework for protecting the rights of entrepreneurs is being improved, and soft loans are being issued to the private sector.

In the World Bank's Doing Business program, Azerbaijan ranked 28^th among 190 countries and was included in the top ten most reforming countries.

The website Müsavat.com writes about the ongoing fight against the coronavirus pandemic. Vaccination will start one of these days and 4 million doses of vaccine have already been delivered to the country. Initially, it will be administered to representatives of the risk group, health workers. The vaccine will be given free of charge and voluntarily.

Professor Adil Geybulla argues that the issue of vaccination should be under the full control of the state and the import of this vaccine should also be controlled by the state, as is customary throughout the world. He recalled that immunity is formed 40 days after vaccination.

The website Bizimyol.info writes about the Moscow trilateral meeting of the leaders of Armenia, Azerbaijan and Russia on January 11. Russia and Azerbaijan claim the end of the conflict, while Armenia stated that the conflict is not fully resolved. Each side had its own interest in holding the Moscow meeting. Russia wants to increase the number of peacekeepers, and Azerbaijan voiced its position in this regard.

The website Modern.az quotes the opinion of the deputy Rasim Musabekov regarding the Moscow meeting. The closed meeting did not clarify some points. Musabekov recalls that the Azerbaijani side has comments on the activities of the Russian peacekeepers in Karabakh. The MP believes that this issue should be discussed without the participation of the Armenian Prime Minister.

The website Yenisabah.az quotes the opinion of the political scientist Shabnam Hasanova, who believes that Armenia should abandon revanchism and go over to cooperation in the region. Otherwise, Armenia remains aloof from regional projects. As for Pashinyan's statements about the incompleteness of the conflict and the need to determine the status of Karabakh, they are intended for an internal audience.
