The Novoye Vremya published an article entitled Things Moving. It states that the General Prosecutor's Office sent a recommendation to the banks to remove the arrest from the NGO accounts.
The paper addresses the problem of registration of NGOs and the Ministry of Justice in this regard is subject to criticism. This question has long been a subject of discussion. The Ministry of Justice registers pro-government NGOs, but denies independent ones.
Currently, NGOs are not allowed to carry out activities without registration.
The Echo reports that property in Azerbaijan continues to be very expensive and it can be purchased only if one has an income of 2 thousand manats a month for 10 years.
For example, a square meter of new housing in the capital costs 3-4 thousand manats, and 1,000-1,200 manats on the outskirts.
Such prices make the purchase unavailable. Sites are unfinished, and builders do not get the return on their investment.
People prefer to rent apartments instead of buying them. After last year's devaluation the housing and construction sector of the country is in crisis. –0--
