Media Review for September 8

Successes in the fight against the pandemic, problems of heating buildings in the capital, and BTA's approach to taxi operations are topics of today's media.

The Azerbaijan newspaper regards the easing of the quarantine regime as a return to normal life. Kindergartens will open in Baku from September 15, as well as a phased return to the educational process.

From today, restrictions on transport communication between the regions of the country with Baku, Sumgayit and Absheron region have been eliminated, with the exception of intercity and interregional passenger traffic.

At the same time, citizens should not ignore social responsibility and adhere to established rules.

The website Metbuat.az discusses the heating problem in the capital with experts. As you know, there are many buildings in the capital that have not seen heating for years. Experts believe that one of the problems is the expired boiler houses. Another problem is that most residents have removed the common heating lines in their apartments.

The way out is not a double price for gas and water supplied to the boiler rooms of high-rise buildings, but the usual price, as it is for all ordinary citizens. In this case, construction companies will be interested in building a common heating system.

The website Moderator.az discusses with the economist Fikrat Yusifov the social tensions in the country amid the economic difficulties created by the pandemic.

From this point of view, the recent decision on customs duties for citizens has a negative meaning. The same goes for the idea of ​​raising taxi fares. All this became the reason for a scandal in society and the basis for public discontent with the authorities. –0 ---
