The issue of attracting tourists to the country, the distribution of state grants, and commentary on Lavrov’s statements in Yerevan are topics of today's media.
The newspaper Azerbaijan writes about negotiations with the Chinese side to attract more tourists to Azerbaijan.
According to the chairman of the State Agency for Tourism Fuad Nagiyev, in December last year, the official representative office of the Azerbaijan Tourism Bureau was opened in China. The presence of direct airlines between the countries and a simplified visa regime for Chinese citizens expand the possibilities of visiting Azerbaijan. For 10 months of this year, Chinese visits to Azerbaijan increased by 64%.
The website Musavat. com writes that state grants are distributed opaquely. The budget for 2020 provides for the allocation of grants for 409.4 million manats, which is 1.5% of budget expenditures. Next year, 6 times more money will be allocated for these purposes. However, not all NGOs can use these grants.
The Bizimyolinfo.az website discusses statement by Russian Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov in Yerevan in connection with the Karabakh issue. This statement does not comply with the mediation mission of Russia and international law. If such a statement were made by any other state, Russia would accuse it of disrespect for the rule of international law.
Lavrov’s expression “The Karabakh people” does not correspond to any ethnographic, historical, or geographical concepts. There is a concept of the population of Karabakh, which includes Azerbaijanis.
Lavrov’s statement is a demarche against Azerbaijan.

The Business Continuity test of Azercell's CMG project was conducted in the Alat Free Economic Zone. A real-time Business Continuity test of the CMG – Crisis Management Group of Azercell, which is a leading mobile operator in the country, was conducted in the Alat Free Economic Zone. For implementation of the first tests Azercell was partnering with Azercosmos, Aztelekom, and Baktelecom. During the simulation, a crisis was created by completely cutting off communication in the designated area. Technical teams from the regions arrived at the scene during the crisis drill, initiating efforts to restore communication. Initially, groups installed two mobile Base Stations in the area, providing 2G service to a limited number of subscribers using facilities of the national satellite. In the next stage, high-speed internet, 3G, and 4G networks were restored, and the area was equipped with 100-megabit Wi-Fi service. It's worth noting that in comparison to previous tests, the recovery time was reduced by half in this simulation test. All mentioned recovery operations were carried out by teams from the regions and the groups of experts specially trained by Azercell.
