The construction of the army, the need to update the minimum consumer basket, and the restriction of citizens' rights to rest by the sea are the topics of today's media.
The newspaper Azerbaijan devotes an editorial to the Day of the Armed Forces of the country, celebrated on 26 June. This day was declared a holiday back in 1918 during the period of the Azerbaijan People"s Republic.
In 1992 to 1998, the Armed Forces Day was celebrated on October 9.
The modern Azerbaijani army is strong and has high combat readiness. At present, the army of Azerbaijan is the most powerful in the South Caucasus.
The newspaper Yeni Musavat states that the minimum consumer basket should be revised. Expert Parviz Heydarov reminds that from September 1, the minimum wage will be 250 manat, and the minimum pension - 200 manat, which will exceed the cost of living. This means that it is necessary to revise the composition of the consumer basket.
According to the law, the consumer basket should be reviewed every three years. In Azerbaijan, it was last reviewed 9 years ago.
The composition of the consumer basket includes over 40 foods. In developed countries, the number of these foods is within 100 items. The expert believes that along with the revision of the consumer basket, the criterion of need should also be eliminated.
The website Bizimyol.info writes about the situation with the fence along the coastline, which seriously interferes with the rest of the citizens. People coming to the beach face pressure from the police and owners of beach facilities. The article describes the incident that occurred on the beach in the village of Shuvalan. The sea is the property of the people and its fencing is contrary to the Constitution, the author writes.
