The significance of the TANAP gas pipeline, the discussion of the high cost of fruit, and the problems of the countryside are the topics of today's media.
The newspaper Azerbaijan reports on the importance of the TANAP gas pipeline, which has already transported 2.7 billion cubic meters of gas to Turkey. For 13 years, the South Caucasus gas pipeline has been delivering Azerbaijani gas to the Turkish borders.
TANAP, being an important part of the Southern Gas Corridor, has been operating since June 30, 2018. The annual profit from gas supplies through this pipeline to Europe should reach $ 1.45 billion, of which 58% is the share of Azerbaijan. A total of $ 6.5 billion was invested in this project.
The website Modern.az writes about the monopoly on fruits and the high price for them. Experts note that in comparison with neighboring countries, fruits in Azerbaijan are much more expensive. Abnormally high is the price for oranges,
1 kg of which in supermarkets costs 4.5 manat. And with the onset of autumn, the price does not fall.
In Georgia, depending on the quality and place of origin, oranges cost 0.4-1.35 euros. That is, it is 2-5 times cheaper than ours. Thus, in Baku, 1 kg of orange costs 2.38 euros, and in Brussels where salaries are 12 times higher, oranges cost 2.1 euros per 1 kg.
The website Yeni Sabah.az talks about the problem of pastures in villages of the Agsu district. In 2004-2006, about 1,000 hectares of pastures were leased by municipalities to private individuals for 99 years.
There were no places left for cattle pasture, even those 200 hectares that were located in the foothill zone were plowed up, leased by Batabat LLC.
In one part of this territory, vineyards were planted. Then these 200 hectares were transferred to Rauf Inshaat LLC and now they are being sown there. Local residents claim that on the state map this territory is designated as pasture. Residents of the village turned to the President of the country and the First Vice President, but received no answer.
