Media Review for January 30, 2020
The website Azadliq-info published with reference to the head of the National Council Jamil Hasanli a list of people who will be “elected” as deputies in the upcoming parliamentary elections on February 9.
The list is based on information received from sources in constituencies.
Hasanli recalls that in 2015, 22 days before the election, he published a list of those who will be “elected” as a deputy. Then out of 125 names, the name of 121 coincided.
The website Musavat.com also writes about the upcoming parliamentary elections, campaigning in favor of its editor, who wants to become a deputy for more than 10 years.
The website also published material on corona virus, the topic of which has become number one in the world press. The Republican Center for Hygiene and Epidemiology stated that corona virus infection in Azerbaijan has not yet been registered, and there is not even a suspicion of this virus.
The website Yeni Sabah.az writes about increasing the cost of test exams to 40 manat, and for tests to the master course - up to 50 manat.
Experts consider these prices unjustified. In 2016, the price of exams was only 2.50-3 manat.
The website of the ruling party YAP.org.az writes about meetings with voters of candidates from the ruling party and their speeches.
The Modern.az website pays attention to the meeting of the Foreign Ministers of Armenia and Azerbaijan in Geneva. The meeting on January 29 lasted 7 hours. On January 30, the second round of the meeting will take place, which is held with the participation of the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairs.
