The newspaper comments on the report submitted to Milli Majlis by the Accounting Chamber, which states no transparency in the work of this body and the abuse of authority.

Echo writes on the topic of women's rights violations. For example, most of the unemployed are women, because the hiring is done by gender. Of the 30 million unemployed 31% are women.

The head of Temiz Dunya Mehriban Zeynalova believes that a greater degree of women's rights are violated in the private sector. In addition, women are often faced with sexual harassment.

Bizim Yol tells about the activities of the firms Farid and Nur Inshaat, belonging to the company Altes Group. As a result of their activities, thousands of people could be left without home. So, the blocks of flats built by this group in the Gutkashenly, Bagirov and Zardabi streets have been arrested. The sale of apartments in these buildings has been banned. Both firms are close to the former chief of MNS Eldar Mahmudov.

Novoye Vremya analyzes the current difficult situation of banks. The Central Bank said this February that the volume of problem loans increased by 329 million manats. This is 15 million AZN higher compared to January.

The expert N. Agayev believes that the citizens' distrust of the manat forces them to keep their money in euros and dollars. At the moment the citizens have 7 billion USD, and with increase in the volume of bad loans of banks their situation will worsen until their closure.
