The settlement of the Karabakh conflict and democracy, the state of market relations, and the loss-making SOCAR are the main topics of today's press.
Azadlig writes about the aggravation of the situation on the Karabakh front, arguing that the main culprit of the zero solution of the Karabakh conflict is Russia. The paper also applies to the close links between official Baku and Russia, which also prevents the solution of the conflict.
The authoritarian rule of the current government is responsible for the cooling of relations with the West, which ignites the "green light" to the continuing occupation of Karabakh.
The April War openly demonstrated the unwillingness of Armenia to liberate the occupied territories of Azerbaijan.
Baku’s calls for justice in the conflict look ridiculous, because the ruling party itself does not comply with justice and flagrantly violates it, intensifying repression and violating the right to vote.
Novoye Vremya writes that SOCAR operates at a loss due to the lack of funds. The confirmation is the fact that the company cannot move into its new office. The SOCAR Vice-President Suleyman Gasimov said that the company completed the year 2015 without profit, with a loss of 1 billion manat. The loss will be followed by staff dismissals. The article states it is necessary to stop the non-target spending.
Bizim Yol writes about the appeal of a group of supermarket owners to the Economy Minister in connection with the present situation in trade. The expert Nemat Aliyev, commenting on the appeal, says the traders are trying to draw attention to their situation. The expert believes it is necessary to reduce tax payments, and government agencies should stop interference in business affairs. In addition, the 18% VAT on imported goods is unacceptable.
Yeni Musavat writes about serious problems in the Armenian Armed Forces in terms of technology and logistics. The newspaper claims the creation of a unique opportunity to solve the Karabakh problem. Official Baku should also correctly calculate the Russian factor and the international conditions. The April War has caused a serious crack in the relations between Armenia and Russia.

Baku, often called the "Caucasian Dubai," is increasingly known for systematic violations of residents' housing rights. During urban renovations and the construction of elegant new buildings, thousands of families in Azerbaijan’s capital have been unlawfully deprived of their homes. Many, recognizing the futility of resistance, settle for inadequate monetary compensation for their irreplaceable property. A minority, placing faith in the Housing Code, demand fair compensation from construction companies but often lose everything—both their homes and any form of recompense.
