The reasons for the dissolution of the parliament, the impact of alternative sources of electricity on the cost of electricity, and the difficulty in importing cars are the topics of today's media.
The newspaper Azerbaijan writes that the ruling party’s appeal to the head of state on the dissolution of parliament and the holding of early elections is connected with legal and political requirements undergoing large-scale and systemic reforms. In this regard, a more efficient, modern and effective management system, as well as the legislative body, is required. The author emphasizes the special role of the First Vice President Mehriban Aliyeva in this process.
The website YeniSabah.az discusses with the expert Natig Jafarli the likelihood of a decrease in the cost of electricity. Alternative energy stations will be created near the village of Alat, in total 8 projects will be involved - 3 solar and 5 windmill. The use of alternative energy would remove from the agenda the construction of a nuclear power plant in Azerbaijan.
As for solar panels, over 10 years their capacity has grown 10 times. The cost of solar energy over the past 15-20 years has also decreased. All this can positively affect the reduction in the cost of electricity.
The Redaktor.az website comments on the statement of the State Customs Committee that the import of cars older than 7 years will not be restricted in the country.
At the end of 2018, there were 1 million 170 thousand 672 cars in the country, of which 896,307 (76.6%) were over 10 years old.
At the same time, there were 30,704 buses in the country, of which 24,620 (80.2%) were over 10 years old. It turns out that the bus fleet is in terrible condition.
