Media Review September 24, 2019
The development of tourism in the country, the likelihood of price increases, and the quality of diesel fuel are topics of today's media.
The newspaper Azerbaijan writes about the tourism opportunities of the Dashkesan region. Tourists can be attracted by the beautiful nature and historical monuments. The most attractive is Khoshbulag. The author lists places of interest for tourists, including the Albanian historical and architectural monument, whose territory is 800 square meters. In total, 71 historical and architectural monuments are located in the district; 46 monuments were registered by the Academy of Sciences. In this area there are opportunities for rural, "green" and mountain tourism, and mountain climbing. Just investors have little interest in their development.
The website Yeni Sabah.az discusses the reasons for price increases with economist Akif Nasirli. One of them is the increase in salaries and pensions since September, as well as the large money supply put into circulation. Due to the lack of a competitive environment in the country, an increase in trade will affect prices. The expert suggests that the authorities will try to keep the price increase by administrative steps.
The Modern.az website discusses the quality of diesel fuel, noting that drivers are not happy with it. Expert Elmaddin Muradli notes that the problem has existed for a long time and causes damage to drivers. Not only is the quality of the fuel poor, but they still manage to steal fuel at gas stations.
Georgia has been switching to the Euro-4 standard since 2020, and although we switched over to this standard a long time ago, Georgia does not buy diesel fuel from us because of its poor quality.
