Initiatives to protect the cultural heritage of Azerbaijan, the impact of local production on the country's car market, and the cost of boat trips are the topics of today's media.
The Azerbaijan newspaper writes about the 43rd session of the UNESCO World Heritage Committee, which began in Baku.
The list of UNESCO World Heritage Site includes more than 276 million hectares, on which there are over 1,000 monuments. Currently, work is underway to include on this list the Khan Palace in Sheki and the old part of the city, the Hirkan National Park, and the Nakhchivan Tombs.
Within the framework of the session, for the first time, a festival of masters of the republic will be held in front of the building of the Youth Theater. Up to 100 masters of art will take part in it.
The website Modern.az talks about the prices on the car market with the expert Ramil Osmanly. After the increase in customs duties on the market, there was some stagnation, then there was an increase in prices. One of the reasons is associated with seasonality, that is, with a decrease in offers. However, from September, prices will start to fall, the expert says. As for the increase in customs duties, they relate to imported cars with a large motor. Local production does not affect prices.
The website Oxu.az writes about prices for boat trips. According to the schedule, boat trips are carried out from 16.00 to midnight.
In winter, these trips are carried out from 12-13.00 to 20.00. They are carried out on the ships Mirvari and Shafag. The Mirvari can receive 466 passengers, and the tickets for children under 5 are free, for adults - 3 AZN, and for the VIP salon - 10 AZN.
The Shafag can receive 60 passengers, and the tickets cost 5 manat for adults and children over 5 years old. True, the schedule of these ships depends directly on the weather.
