The newspaper Azerbaijan writes about Russian-Azerbaijani relations in the background of the Sochi meeting of Presidents Putin and Aliyev. The political commentators call this meeting a new stage in economic cooperation and strategic partnership between the two countries.

The newspaper Novoye Vremya writes about the self-employment program, which provides a family business for the unemployed.
The goal is to ensure that by the end of this year at least seven thousand people are involved in this program.
A draft titled "Employment Strategy of the Republic of Azerbaijan" (for 2018-2030) has been prepared and presented to the relevant structures.
The website Qafqaz.info writes about the disconnection of light in the residential complex AAAF for 12 hours. The reason is a debt of almost 100,000 manats.
On the territory of the complex there are various objects, which may have accumulated such a debt. The switching-off of light in this complex is not uncommon. -0----
