The fight against the Corona Virus epidemic, the situation on the world oil market, discussion of the socio-economic situation, and expectations of changes to the law "On Political Parties" are the topics of today's media.
The newspaper Azerbaijan writes that the process of social isolation requires high responsibility from citizens. Azerbaijan has the necessary potential to protect citizens from all types of danger.
Not only government agencies, but also every citizen must comply with the established rules, which are issues of national security and national solidarity.
The Operational Headquarters on March 13 decided not to hold public events. The author notes that the situation in Azerbaijan is not critical and with the correct implementation of preventive measures, everything can end with minimal losses.
The Musavat.com website discusses the situation in the global oil market. The author believes that it is Russia that causes the fall in oil prices. This is its strategic plan to maintain its market share.
Last week, oil fell 20%. Processes show that the period of cheap oil will last a few more months.
According to analysts, if the fall in oil prices continues for several more weeks, a deep crisis will capture countries with a small share of diversification. According to the expert Natig Jafarli, the war here is not only for oil, but also for gas.
The website Azadliq.info warns of the inevitability of serious socio-economic problems, discussing this topic with the expert Rovshan Agayev. The situation in the economy of Georgia, Russia and Turkey, the main trading partners of Azerbaijan, will have a negative impact. A sharp drop in oil prices can completely stop the country's economic growth, since in 2019 60% of the currency entering the country fell on the oil and gas sector.
The website Modern.az publishes an opinion on the need to amend the law “On Political Parties” and the reasons for this. Negotiations are underway between officials of the presidential administration and representatives of political parties. New steps are required in legislation.

The closure of Azerbaijan's land borders was discussed during the parliamentary session on November 25. While the government’s decision cites the coronavirus pandemic as the main reason—despite the World Health Organization declaring its end last year—Zahid Oruj, Chair of the Human Rights Committee in the Milli Majlis, pointed to other factors. He stated, "Opening the borders could result in an influx of hundreds of thousands of non-Azerbaijani refugees due to the Russia-Ukraine war. Additionally, in Iran, many are prepared to cross into Azerbaijan to safeguard their lives and assets amid military strikes. Such waves of refugees could lead to humanitarian, social, and cultural clashes that may threaten political stability."
