Media Review September 23, 2019
The successes of the past 8 months, the discussion of the fight against corruption, and the situation in the Alatava 2 quarter are topics of today's media.
The newspaper Azerbaijan writes about economic success for 8 months of this year. During this period, 8 billion 627.2 million manat was allocated to fixed assets, which amounted to 70.7% of total investment.
Up to 700 companies with Russian capital operate in Azerbaijan. Russian companies invested $ 4.7 billion in the economy of Azerbaijan, while Azerbaijan invested $ 1.2 billion in the Russian economy.
For the indicated period of this year, soft loans worth 103 million manat were issued to finance investment projects with a total value of 404.8 million manat.
The website Modern.az writes about the officials declaring their income, discussing this topic with the MP Ali Masimli. Despite the adoption on June 24, 2005 of the law "On the Rules for the Presentation of Financial Information by Officials", over the past 14 years it has not been applied, despite the fact that a decree was signed on August 9, 2005 on the application of this law.
The author notes that when officials declare their income, it will be possible to eradicate corruption in the country.
The newspaper Yeni Musavat publishes a report from the Alatava housing estate, which over the years has turned into a ghetto: old self-built houses, narrow roads, and no communications. If a fire occurs, then everything will burn out, because fire engines simply will not be able to drive up, like an ambulance.
Neither the head of the executive branch, nor the MPs come and look here. The leadership last came to Alatava only in 2013.
