The importance of suffrage for society, the rise in prices of non-food products and the housing market are topics of today's media.
The newspaper Azerbaijan writes about the importance of suffrage, discussing this issue with the head of the ombudsman’s apparatus, Aydin Safikhanli.
In Azerbaijan, wide opportunities have been created for the implementation of suffrage from the point of view of legislation and from the point of view of practice. A large number of registered candidates in the February 9 parliamentary elections indicates a healthy competitive environment and equal conditions for candidates. There is also no interference in the election process by the police and officials, Safikhanli claims.
The website Yeni Sabah.az discusses with the expert Natig Jafarli the rise in prices in the non-food market. At the same time, there is an interesting trend - the price of televisions, air conditioners, mobile phones, synthetic detergents and more has decreased. The expert considers these trends seasonal. If the increase or decrease in prices exceeds 5%, then research is needed to determine the reasons.
The website Yeniavaz.az writes about the rules of rental housing with its subsequent acquisition of ownership. On January 22, the process of electronic applications for renting housing with the obligation to sell it further will begin. Information on the addresses and cost of such housing has already been made public.
The Mortgage and Credit Guarantee Fund provides rental housing with subsequent redemption in the Nizami district (208 apartments), Khatai (30 apartments), Khirdalan (58 apartments), and Sumgait (25 apartments). However, prices here are many times higher than real market value.
