Media Review - October 29, 2018
The formula of the country's economic and social successes and the position of citizens in the landslide zone are the topics of today's media.
The Azerbaijan newspaper writes about the reasons for the country's economic and social success against the backdrop of the VI International Humanitarian Forum held in Baku.
The author recalls that the theme of the Forum is a new world, the formation of a new person, creativity and human development, the globalization of the world and the need to solve many problems together.
The website Azadliq.info, together with the film director Eldaniz Guliyev, talks about justice. The situation with convicted prosecutor Rufat Safarov is given as an example.
A "journalist" is placed in his cell, and conversations with him are then used to punish Safarov in the form of putting him in a punishment cell.
Subsequently, this "journalist" is for some reason released and a website is opened for him, where he publishes slander against Safarov, practicing his assignment.
According to E. Guliyev, such methods mean that the authorities do not stop the persecution of a person, even in prison.
The newspaper Yeni Musavat writes about the landslide zone in Badamdar and the situation of local residents. The statement by the Ministry of Environment says about the ongoing process of landslide, which already threatens a large number of private houses.
Residents of 11 such houses do not leave them, despite the power outage.
Japanese experts believe that it is necessary to dig wells and pump groundwater. Others consider it necessary to build a sewage system, since it is the sewage that activates the landslide.

In the last two days, a "news" story appeared on TikTok about a whale spotted on Baku's seaside boulevard. The most "observant" users posted videos, commenting on the size of the animal. Later, other "witnesses" claimed it wasn't a whale, but a shark. Even later, a version emerged suggesting it was a submarine.
