Social policy implemented in the country, the negative impact of selective abortions on demography, and the 25th anniversary of the ceasefire regime are the topics of today's media.
The newspaper Azerbaijan writes about the social policy conducted in the country and its tangible results over the past 4 months.
Since April of this year, various categories of people have enjoyed increased pensions, scholarships and allowances.
Since the beginning of 2019, salaries and pensions have increased by about 40%, social benefits by 2 times, and benefits for IDPs by 50%. Social benefits in 14 categories, as well as presidential scholarship in 7 categories increased by about 100%.
The website Yenisabah.az writes that the number of women in the country is seriously decreasing. A few years ago, women accounted for 51.7 percent of the population in the country, and now this figure is 50.1%.
In order to preserve sexual balance, the Milli Majlis is preparing an Action Plan.
Now for every 100 girls there are 115 boys. This can lead to serious problems in the future. In all likelihood, selective abortions must be stopped.
The website Moderator.az writes about the 25th anniversary of the cease-fire regime concluded on May 12, 1994. The expert Ilham Ismail calls this decision defeatist because it is designed for an indefinite time. Moreover, the document on the cease-fire regime did not imply the liberation of the occupied territories.
Azerbaijan, as the losing party, should have known that the terms of the agreement would be difficult. Moreover, the cease-fire regime played into the hands of Armenia. Can there be a cease-fire for a period of 25 years? This means that Armenians quietly entrenched in Nagorno-Karabakh. -0---
