Thirteen years of the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline, discussion of the problem with butter, ad the situation with the issuance of preferential housing are the topics of today's media.
The Azerbaijan newspaper writes about the activities of the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline over the past 13 years. The author makes a small insight into the history of its construction, and gives an assessment of the role of Heydar Aliyev in the implementation of this powerful project. To date, the oil transported through the pipeline has been loaded into more than 1,400 tankers. The author believes that this project brought income not only to Azerbaijan, but to the entire region, contributing to positive changes.
The website Oxu.az writes about the situation with butter, noting that 90% of the butter sold in the trading network is not "pure". At present, over 30 types of butter are sold in Azerbaijan. Experts say that most of the butter contains impurities that are harmful to health. The butter is made artificially, but the prices are artificially inflated.
The website Bizimyol.info writes on the topic of social housing, issued by the State Agency for Housing Construction. In the Yasamal Residential Complex there is an online sale of 253 apartments. The website was told that low-income families were hampered in obtaining housing. The system created by the Agency has practically failed. People cannot choose an apartment on this system. In addition, people are caused to submit some unnecessary documents. For many people, the "social housing" project is the last hope to get a flat of their own. In that case, why should those who have money, but not the poor, acquire this housing? -0-

The closure of Azerbaijan's land borders was discussed during the parliamentary session on November 25. While the government’s decision cites the coronavirus pandemic as the main reason—despite the World Health Organization declaring its end last year—Zahid Oruj, Chair of the Human Rights Committee in the Milli Majlis, pointed to other factors. He stated, "Opening the borders could result in an influx of hundreds of thousands of non-Azerbaijani refugees due to the Russia-Ukraine war. Additionally, in Iran, many are prepared to cross into Azerbaijan to safeguard their lives and assets amid military strikes. Such waves of refugees could lead to humanitarian, social, and cultural clashes that may threaten political stability."
