A look at the attempt of the National Council and PFPA to hold an event in the Alley of Martyrs on November 17 and the situation in the banking system are the leading topics of today's media.
The website Trend.az publishes the opinion of the chief editor of the Iki Sahil newspaper, Vugar Rahimzadeh, on the attempt of the Popular Front Party and the National Council to hold a memorial event at the Alley of Martyrs on the occasion of the National Revival Day. Rahimzadeh believes that the opposition has always tried to remain relevant through all kinds of shows, among which he also refers to the attempt on November 17.
In his opinion, this is also a demonstration of the lack of a social base for the opposition. In no country and in the world, he notes, there is no practice of holding unauthorized actions. "They specifically violate the rights of citizens to rest, as well as public order, trying to always hold their rallies in the central part of the capital," he said.
The website Azadliq.info writes about the failed opposition rally in the Alley of Martyrs as a result of the police intervention on November 17. The author argues that the government for a long time imposes its own conditions on society by violent means. For some reason, the authorities are nervous when the opposition visits martyrs on holidays.
The author recalls the detention of Jamil Hasanli and Ali Kerimli, which indicates the presence of intra-power differences.
The newspaper Yeni Musavat discusses high interest rates for loans with the expert Parviz Heydarli. The cheapest interest rates on the proposed loans are 19%, the article says. MP Ziyad Samadzadeh proposes to lower interest rates. The author also recalls that the Central Bank lowered the discount rate from 15% to 9.75% in April and October of the current year. Parviz Heydarli notes several reasons for the high interests, which are given in the article. The expert notes that banks carry out activities for the purpose of quick profit. The expert sees a way out in the merger of banks.
