Azerbaijan-European economic relations and discussions of the budget in parliament are the leading topics of today's media.
The newspaper Azerbaijan writes that the European Union accepts Azerbaijan in the person of Ilham Aliyev as a reliable partner. According to statistics, in January-August, the bulk of Azerbaijan"s foreign trade turnover in the amount of $ 20.2 billion fell on Italy, Germany, the Czech Republic, France, Portugal, the United Kingdom, Spain, Austria, and Romania.
Despite the existence of the Karabakh conflict, Azerbaijan still remains an attractive country for foreign investors. The author is discussing the relations between Azerbaijan and the EU against the backdrop of the visit of Slovak Prime Minister Peter Pellegrini to Baku.
The author also concerns the document titled Partnership Priorities initialed by Ilham Aliyev and covers the economy, politics, the social sphere, transport, and energy.
The Yeni Musavat newspaper discusses the demographic situation that MP Gudrat Hasanguliyev raised in parliament. He claims that in view of the difficult social situation, the birth rate is falling. In this regard, it is necessary to financially stimulate people in the form of child benefits.
In Europe, children's allowances are approximately 200 euros until the age of 18 years. The MP believes that without reform this issue cannot be resolved.
Hasanguliyev considers it necessary to raise the state budget to 40-50 billion in the next 2-3 years and resolve the issue of pensions and child benefits.
At the same time, Hasanguliyev and the newspaper quoting him do not report from where the 20-30 billion necessary for this should appear.
The website Modern.az discusses the topic of lump-sum assistance to families of martyrs who died or went missing while protecting the territorial integrity of the country.
The refusal of the relevant authorities to issue this assistance in 11,000 manat caused general indignation. According to one of the MPs, the payment of this amount is the debt of the state insurance company Azersygorta. MPs believe that someone is forcing the situation, causing widespread discontent. -0------
