The formation of a multi-party Milli Majlis, the likelihood of a proportional system being restored, tourism in Azerbaijan, and oil prices are the topics of today's media.
The newspaper Azerbaijan writes that a multi-party Milli Majlis has been formed in the country, which is also reflected in the leadership of the parliament.
There are 70 deputies from the ruling party in parliament, 12 from other parties, and 39 deputies are independent.
The author cites the statement of Ilham Aliyev that the Milli Majlis will take the necessary measures to strengthen the multi-party system.
The website Yeni Sabah.az discusses the process of formation of a new political configuration in the country, part of which was early parliamentary elections. This process is not completed, and a referendum is expected to restore a proportional electoral system.
In addition, a dialogue is being held with representatives of political parties. An important point is that a representative of another party appeared in the leadership of the Milli Majlis, which has not been observed for a long time.
The website Bizimyol.info talks about tourism in Azerbaijan, which could lose a lot of money due to a decrease in the flow of tourists due to the Corona Virus. Firstly, the cancellation of the games of the European Football Championship and racing Formula-1 is expected. The summer influx of tourists will surely decrease, as will the arrival of the Iranians on the eve of Novruz.
In this regard, hotels, public transport and individuals will lose. The total losses from the tourism business may amount to $ 5 billion.
The website Müsavat.com discusses with the expert Rovshan Agayev the issue of the price of oil. The most worrying issue for the population is the possible devaluation of the manat due to the collapse in oil prices.
Currently, the cost of Azeri Light oil is $ 36.04 per barrel. The expert claims that nothing encouraging is expected, since the negative influence of the Corona Virus factor continues to work.
