Media Review - September 14, 2018

The 100th anniversary of the liberation of Baku from the Bolsheviks and Dashnaks, the high share of oil and gas in the volume of exports, and the situation around the Karabakh conflict are the leading topics of today's media.

The newspaper Azerbaijan writes about the centenary of the liberation of Baku from the Dashnak-Bolshevik forces and the Central Caspian Dictatorship government.

Only after the entry of the Caucasian Islamic army led by Nuru Pasha into Baku ensured the security of the Turkic Muslim population, which was massacred in the spring of 1918. The government of the Azerbaijan People's Republic was also able to move to the capital of Azerbaijan due to this.

The newspaper Novoye Vremya in the article Oil Rate Can Provoke New Crisis reports the preservation of a high proportion of oil in Azerbaijan's exports.

According to the State Customs Committee, since the beginning of the year, the declared volume of import and export operations amounted to 19.7 billion US dollars, an increase of $ 7.2 billion. Exports ($ 12.8 billion) increased by $ 5.6 billion, and imports ($ 6.8 billion) increased by $ 1.5 billion.

The share of the oil and gas sector exceeded 91% in the export of goods. "While oil and gas remain the main export goods for Azerbaijan, our economy will be vulnerable. Any upheavals in the global economy will negatively affect the domestic economy," the author writes.

The economic crisis of 2015, caused by the fall in oil prices, did not become a lesson for government officials. The economic crisis, even despite the expensive oil today, is still not overcome. In other words, even the current high price for "black gold" cannot guarantee the stability of the economy, financial and banking sectors of Azerbaijan.

Azadliq.info in the article Karabakh Shame of Government criticizes the government's policy towards the Karabakh conflict.

Thus, according to the author, Baku's "capitulation position" has led to the fact that now Prime Minister of the Government of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan challenges Azerbaijan and declares that Armenians do not intend to return the occupied territories.

Pashinyan actually demonstrates that there was no reason for Azerbaijan to negotiate for 25 years. An absurd situation is developing - the government of the country, whose territories are occupied, asks the aggressor for negotiations.
