Media Review for November 19

The main topic of the media continues to be the 44-day war for the liberation of the Armenian-occupied territories of Azerbaijan. The media also publishes analysis of the situation from various points of view.

The newspaper Azerbaijan calls the 44-day war to liberate the occupied lands the most glorious victory in the entire history of Azerbaijan’s statehood.

During the Patriotic War, 5 cities, 4 towns and about 300 villages, and many strategic heights were liberated.

The war broke the prevailing stereotypes. With the exception of France, no state has openly defended Armenia.

Armenians have not received the support of the international community. The war also inflicted incalculable economic losses on Armenia. As for the damage caused to Azerbaijan, Armenia will have to pay compensation.

The website Bizimyol.info.az writes that the damage caused by Armenia to Azerbaijan is 1.3 trillion US dollars. According to the economist-expert Eldeniz Amirov, according to previous calculations, this amount was $ 820 billion.

Among the destroyed territories there was also the district center of Fizuli and 51 villages of this district. At present, work is underway on this territory to calculate the damage. According to rough estimates, the infrastructure of each district was damaged approximately in the amount of 6-8 billion dollars. The restoration work will require about $ 50 billion and from 7 to 10 years. Working groups have already been created to calculate the damage caused.

The website Redaktor.az discusses Turkey's participation in the peacekeeping mission, which is very important and necessary. The pro-Russian forces are worried about this, but neither Azerbaijan nor Turkey will make concessions on this issue. The political scientist believes that the presence of Turkish troops in Azerbaijan has already become a necessity.

The website Azpolitika.info comments on V. Putin’s interview to the TV channel Russia-24. Observers believe there are many dangerous moments in this interview. While declaring that Karabakh is the territory of Azerbaijan, Putin simultaneously notes the issue of status.

Putin's opinion that the weakening of the USSR was the cause of the Karabakh conflict can be regarded as Putin's interest in the restoration of the USSR.

Putin does not hide his intention to rule Karabakh from the Kremlin and does not give this territory either to Armenia or Azerbaijan. Citing the experience of Georgia as an example, he threatens both Armenia and Azerbaijan.
