Development of the regions, the relationship between the government and the opposition, and job cuts are the leading topics of today's press.

The newspaper Azerbaijan writes about the modernization of the national economy, which relies on regional development and the role of the reforms implemented in the region.

For a long time, according to the author, the economic development "moved" from Baku to the regions. Production is developed there. The author mentions the state program related to the development of regions.

According to the report of the World Economic Forum, in its inclusive development Azerbaijan takes the second place among the developed countries.

The website Azadliq.info writes about the relationship between the opposition and the authorities, in particular with the PFPA. Speaking of solidarity and tolerance, the authorities do not want to apply it to the opposition. The ruling party has one concern - PFPA. In this connection, the author recalls that nine PFPA functionaries are imprisoned on trumped up charges.

Echo has published an article entitled "Diversification of the economy of Azerbaijan: we do not see even the rudiments." With the onset of the global economic crisis that struck Azerbaijan, officials tirelessly repeat that they began to diversify the economy. But nobody notices this. Of course, the benefits of diversification cannot be obtained for one or two years, but we do not see even the beginnings.

Novoye Vremya has published an article on the reduction of jobs as many companies and businesses are closed.
