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.
