High yields in the agricultural sector, the likelihood of a crisis due to expensive oil, the fight against corruption are the topics of today's media.

Last year 10 thousand units of various equipment were purchased, and this year another 5000. For these purposes, 160 million manat was allocated from the state budget.
In 30 districts of the country, 45 agroparks were established on a total area of 192 thousand hectares. Until the end of this year, 14 more agroparks will be commissioned.
The site "Müsavat.com" writes that expensive oil also carries risks. According to experts, there are two main reasons for this. The first is the tension between the United States and Iran, and the refusal of the United States to sell oil to China. Expensive oil on the market is not needed either by producers or consumers.
The United States has repeatedly appealed to the OPEK in a request to reduce the cost of oil. The golden mean is the price of 60-65 dollars per barrel.
The newspaper "New time" writes about the fight against corruption on the example of the former head of the software "Bakliftremont" Gudrat Shukurov, who was arrested for embezzlement abuse.
In 2013, 7 million AZN was allocated for the replacement and repair of old elevators of Baku from the Reserve Fund of the Head of State, much of which was appropriated.
Prior to that, the state budget of 2013 allocated 50 million manat, which were also not used for its intended purpose.
In addition, the former chief of Baklift is accused of receiving a bribe from the American company OTIS Elevator Co. -0-
