The development of infrastructure in the country, the problem of finding work for citizens, and the socio-political situation in the country in the election year are the leading topics of today's newspapers.
The newspaper Azerbaijan in the article "Successful Implementation of State Programs Turned Azerbaijan into Economic Strength Center of Region" focuses attention on economic achievements over the past 14 years as a result of the implementation of state programs.
The result of this policy was the construction of 30 power stations, the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan and Baku-Tbilisi-Erzurum pipelines, the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway, the Oguz-Gabala-Baku water pipeline, highways, airports, etc.
The newspaper Echo in the article "Where Should People Look for Jobs in Azerbaijan Today?" raises the problem of job search in the country.
According to Jamaladdin Ismayilov, Vice President of the Federation of Trade Unions Khidmet Ish, today the most promising areas for employment in Azerbaijan are agriculture, tourism and hotel business.
"A lot of tourists come to Azerbaijan, and they go not only to Baku, but also to the regions. So, in my village Slavyanka of the Gadabay district, three large boarding houses have recently been built. Young people will go to the regions to work in tourism, in particular, there are good prospects for the development of ecological tourism," Ismayilov stressed.
The website of the Azadlig newspaper in the article "Political Freedoms Have Never Been Limited in the Election Year Before" notes that in the year of presidential elections the situation with human rights remains grave. The author points out that such an atmosphere of non-alternativeness was in the presidential elections of 2008. But now the situation is even worse: five leading independent and opposition Internet resources are blocked, and the number of political prisoners has reached a level that was never observed in previous elections.
The visit of the international election observation mission of the OSCE / ODIHR is under question. On the other hand, after the Azerbaijan Laundromat scandal the Council of Europe and the EU are wary of Azerbaijan, and they are unlikely to give a flattering assessment of the elections. The situation can be changed by strengthening civic engagement, but this requires the consolidation of the weakened opposition.
