Media Review for May 29

The speech by the head of state at the opening of the Gobu-3 settlement for internally displaced persons, a threat from Russian-speaking schools, violation by construction companies of their obligations, and  the grandson of Rasulzadeh about the merits of his grandfather are today's media topics.

Head of State: These Houses Temporary...

The official newspaper Azerbaijan writes about the participation of President Ilham Aliyev in the opening of the Gobu-3 settlement for IDPs and publishes a speech by the head of state.

This complex is designed for 1,336 families, and there is also a school for 960 schoolchildren and a kindergarten.

In total, over 300 thousand internally displaced persons are provided with housing. The head of state also said this is temporary housing. After the liberation of the occupied territories, all migrants will return to their native places.

Source of Threat to Independence?

The website Moderator.az writes that an increase in the number of Russian-language schools threatens the country's independence. This is due to the strengthening of the Russian factor, promoted by certain forces. The work of about three million Azerbaijanis in Russia also affects this. The current situation threatens the independence of the country, the author believes.

Construction Companies Do Not Fulfill Their Obligations...

The website Sfera.az writes that the construction company Sipark has violated its obligations to the participants of the pilot project on Tabriz Street. The company was supposed to build and rent a house to tenants within 20 months. However, since 2017 only 3 blocks of a six-block house and 14 floors of a 16-storey building have been built. Despite the complaints of residents to the appropriate authorities, the construction is not ongoing. Residents threaten to hold a protest in front of the presidential administration after quarantine.

Those Who Give People Sense of Freedom

The website Oxu.az talks with Rais Rasulzadeh, the grandson of Mammad Emin Rasulzadeh, about the activities of his grandfather. Rais believes that sometimes distorted information is given about his grandfather, and unfounded charges are brought.

In the Soviet period, Rasulzadeh was presented as an enemy and was persecuted. However, he was one of those who instilled a sense of freedom and independence in people.
