The activities of the country's First Vice President, a look at private property, and the expected pressure on the manat are the leading topics of today's media.
The Azerbaijan newspaper assesses the activities of the country's First Vice-President Mehriban Aliyeva for 2018. She has made the social sphere a priority of her activities. The article talks about the participation of the First Vice-President in the opening of social facilities in the Sabunchu, Khazar, Sabail and Narimanov districts of the capital. The author also tells about the receptions by Mehriban Aliyeva of high-ranking foreign delegations, as well as her official visits.
The Azadliq.info website writes about the hunger strike of Mehman Huseynov in protest against the new accusation against him, and about focusing the international community on this issue.
Official Baku blames Mehman Huseynov for creating a negative image of Azerbaijan. To this, the author recalls the images of great Mirza Alakbar Sabir and Jalil Mammadguluzadeh, who, in this case, can also be blamed for the formation of a negative image of the country.
The negative image about Azerbaijan is created by those who dishonor the country in the Council of Europe for their corruption scandals, which entailed certain sanctions. Shameful are those who squander the state budget and who throw people into the street, demolishing their private property.
The newspaper Yeni Musavat talks about a possible fall in the manat rate this year. Economist Gubad Ibadoglu believes that the pressure will be stronger than in 2018.
The risk of manat instability will increase due to falling oil prices.
Another expert Parviz Heydarov believes the growing demand for dollars, as well as the growth of imports will also increase pressure on the manat.--0--
