Media Review for July 22

The reason for the high cost of meat, the likelihood of an increase in the number of people infected with COVID-19, and an MP’s opinion of the hostilities on July 12-14 are topics of today's media.

The website Yenisabah.az discusses the high cost of meat in the capital.

 Experts say that in the regions, the cost of meat fell by 20%, although this is not felt in the capital. Under quarantine conditions, there was a problem with the delivery of meat to the capital from regions of the country.

Meat also does not get cheaper because of artificial obstacles, otherwise it should have become cheaper by 20-30%.

Most of the meat is brought from Barda, Beylagan, Imishli, Agjabedi, Saatli and Sabirabad regions. There the cost of lamb is 8-9 manats, and beef is 7-8 manats per kg.

The Redaktor.az website writes about the likelihood of an increase in coronavirus infections, although recently there has been a decline in the number of infected.

Doctors believe that this is due to the fact that many people are hiding the fact of the disease.

However, reducing the number of infected should not cause relaxation, and it is necessary to follow the established rules. The strict quarantine regime can be relaxed, but with the obligatory observance of the established rules, doctors say.

The website Modern.az publishes the opinion of the deputy Vahid Ahmedov on the hostilities in Tovuz on July 12-14. In his opinion, the Armenian provocation is connected with the intention to hinder the energy projects of Azerbaijan.

The Armenians were pushed to this by Russia, which is interested in the energy resources from Azerbaijan going through Russia.

The price of Russian gas dropped sharply in the world, and even Turkey began to buy less of it from Russia.
