Azerbaijan’s transformation into a transport corridor, Azerbaijan providing 12 points to Russia at the Eurovision Song Contest and the expectations from the Vienna talks are the leading topics of today's press.
The official newspaper Azerbaijan has published an article about Azerbaijan turning into an international transport corridor between Asia and Europe. This is the Silk Road, as well as the North-South transport corridor, which will be of particular importance for Azerbaijan.
Azadlig discusses the fact that Azerbaijan gave 12 points to the Russian singer at Eurovision SC, and Armenia only gave him 2 points. But Russia gave Armenia 12 points, and it gave 10 to Azerbaijan. The author believes this contest is too politicized and Azerbaijan demonstrated its unprincipled and biased position.
Yeni Musavat writes about the forthcoming meeting of the Presidents of Armenia and Azerbaijan in Vienna. The newspaper writes about the features of this upcoming meeting. This is the first meeting after the April war, which will be held with the participation of Foreign Ministers of the co-chairing countries.
Sargsyan has been forced to take part in the meeting, while his demands were ignored. The newspaper believes that Azerbaijan should use its chance in this situation. –0--
