A look at the social policy of the country, the activities of some structures in emergency mode, and the attitude to structural changes are the leading topics of today's media.
The newspaper Azerbaijan referring to the social status of citizens of the country, notes that the main task of the state is to increase the social well-being of the population. In this regard, the author mentions the commissioning in 2018 of 626 apartments for families of martyrs and war veterans. Another 800 apartments are planned to be issued to this category of persons in 2019.
The issuance of a lump-sum compensation to the families of martyrs in the amount of 11,000 manat also continues.
Currently, about 10 thousand heirs are registered. About 400 soldiers are provided with housing, and this process will continue. In addition, 300 thousand families of displaced persons are provided with housing today. Only in 2018, 5,800 families were given housing, and 5 thousand more people of this category will be provided with housing.
The website Moderator.az claims that Azenergy did not cope with the task of providing electricity during the bad weather period of January 17-18, even though it switched to an enhanced mode of operation. So, on January 17, most of the village of Balajary was left without light. On January 17, in the village of Novkhany, there were also interruptions in the supply of electricity, and a part of the village of Binagady was also de-energized.
The website Azadliq.info discusses the topic of whether the elimination of some departments and the creation of new ones can be called structural reforms.
It seems that the cuts are being presented as reforms.
The newspaper Yeni Musavat writes about the situation on AzTV. After the dismissal of the head of AzTV, Arif Alyshanov, the fate of this channel remains uncertain.
According to the television expert Gulu Maharramli, the transfer of AzTV to the control of Public Television is a normal proposal.
When joining the Council of Europe, Azerbaijan assumed the obligation to create a Public TV, but did not fulfill the task, since in our country it is impossible to create such a TV, said Maharramli.
MP Faraj Guliyev also sharply criticizes the activities of AzTV. He believes this channel does not work quickly. In terms of costs, the channel is a burden for the state. If it continues to act, it is necessary to change its policy and approaches.

On a brisk November evening, the residents of Baku gathered along the waterfront of the Caspian Sea, stunned by what appeared to be the washed-up body of a colossal whale. At 16 meters long, the creature’s seemingly lifeless form and pungent odor left many convinced they were witnessing an ecological tragedy. By that night, however, the mysterious visitor had departed, loaded onto a cargo platform and whisked away to the airport.
