The economic life of the country, the situation around the Karabakh conflict, the socio-political panorama after the devaluation of the manat, the situation with the economic liberalization, price increase and the silence of the government are the leading topics of today's press.
The Azerbaijan newspaper writes about the economic life of the country and the Karabakh issue. The author points out that President Ilham Aliyev takes consistent measures to bring the country to the level of developed countries. The head of state does not rest on his laurels, ensuring sustainable development strategy prepared on deep scientific forecasts.
The author speaks about the attitude of President Ilham Aliyev to the Karabakh problem, resulting in the interview of the head of state, which he gave to the TV channel Al Jazeera.
The website Azadliq.info writes about the devaluation of the manat, which occurred twice in 2015. Noting the so-called anniversary of the devaluation, the author writes that the citizens of the country in the best of times, when the government raked petrodollars, and now, just have to survive.
The “unique” development of the country gave nothing to its ordinary citizens. The author writes about the waste of state funds, citing the major sports, Formula 1, and sponsorship for the football championship.
Echo published an article titled “Azerbaijan proposed a return to the economic management system of Soviet times.” Rising prices for food products will continue until the end of summer this year, the average growth of about 10%.
