The significance of the Star plant built in Turkey for Azerbaijani investments, the causes of landslides in Baku, and the lack of water in the Yasamal district of the capital are the themes of today's media.
The newspaper Azerbaijan writes that the Star factory built in Turkey is another example of the power of Azerbaijan. This is one of the largest enterprises in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, in which 6.3 billion dollars were invested.
Commissioned on October 19, the plant will process 10 million tons of oil. SOCAR is the main supplier of raw materials. As for the value of the plant directly, it will bring income to the Turkish economy and will be the impetus for its further development.
The Yeni Musavat newspaper writes about landslides in Baku, trying to figure out its causes with the expert Shabnam Karsly.
In addition to the landslide that began on October 10 between the 20th Section and Badamdar, landslide zones were registered at 8 points in Baku.
Over the past two years, landslide foci have increased 2 times. At present, Japanese specialists are working in Baku, but so far they cannot say anything positive. The next precipitations will speed up the process.
In general, the landslide gathering process was accelerated by such facts as urbanization, unplanned construction, rising groundwater levels, and the lack of a sewer system.
The website Publika.az writes that the residents of the Yasamal district of the capital have spent four days without water. People are forced to buy water. Government agencies do not explain the reasons for what is happening.
The press service of Azersu said the repair work has been completed and the water supply problem has already been eliminated. If residents are not provided with water, then this problem is local and is addressed to the companies that have built these buildings.
