Multicultural traditions of Azerbaijan, the use and difficulties of mandatory health insurance, and the need for alternative energy sources are the leading themes of today's media.
The newspaper Azerbaijan writes about multiculturalism, noting that multinationality is an integral part of state policy. The author talks about the negative processes occurring in the world, about the manifestation of terrorism - all this makes it necessary for the international dialogue that took place in Baku the other day.
Within the framework of this Forum, a session was also held on the theme of an increase in cultural and ethnic diversity in the modern world and the importance of multinational policy in its settlement.
The website Moderator.az writes about the need for alternative energy, discussing this issue with the MP Ali Masimli. According to him, the need for alternative energy became clear after the accident that occurred at the Mingechevir power plant in July 2018.
In the first quarter of 2019, electricity exports worth $ 38.4 million took the first place in the non-oil sector. At the end of 2018, the Agency for Alternative Energy was created, and in early 2019 it was canceled.
All over the world they use alternative energy, but in Azerbaijan the level of its use is very low. There is a need to create a structure dealing with alternative energy, said the MP.
The website Bizimyol.info writes about mandatory health insurance, about the absence of healthy competition between public and private clinics, and about a supposedly free medical survey of the population.
The article calls into question the fact that about 6 million people undergo a free examination every year on the instructions of the President. The author cites expert opinion on mandatory health insurance. Insurance itself is a positive fact, but very much depends on the mechanism of its application.
