The website Yap.org.az publishes the opinion of the former deputy Sevinj Huseynova about the social security of citizens, which has always been a priority of state policy. Even during the global economic crisis in Azerbaijan, social reforms continued - the minimum wage and pensions increased, problem loans of citizens were resolved, and benefits were increased.

Expert Nijat Nasirli notes a small amount of precipitation in this zone, and especially in summer. Farmers are seriously affected by this and the growth of insect pests.
According to official figures, water resources in the country decreased by 15% and measures are needed to save and rational use of water, the expert said.
The website Moderator.az writes about the growth of trips of Azerbaijani citizens to Iran. The total number of people who went abroad from January to November 2019 amounted to 5 million 95 thousand.
Of these, 1 million 869 thousand, or 36%, visited Iran. In second place, visits to Georgia are 28.7%, in third Russia - 17.6%, in fourth Turkey - 11.5%. Visits to Western countries amounted to about 5%.
The website Hürriyyet.org publishes a statement by the Democratic Party about the provocation against its leader Sardar Jalaloglu. The website had external interference on January 7 and posted a fake interview on behalf of Sardar Jalaloglu.
The website’s management appealed to the State Security Service and the Prosecutor General’s Office with a request to investigate this provocation. –0----
