The amnesty initiative, the public health conditions, Azerbaijan's participation in the coalition against terrorism, and food security are today's leading themes of the press.
The official newspaper Azerbaijan writes about the amnesty initiative of the President of Heydar Aliyev Foundation Mehriban Aliyeva. This is her third initiative. The first was in 2007 and the second - in 2009. The article refers to the Fund's charitable activities.
Azadlig subjects to severe criticism the new Ministry of Health rules, according to which since April of this year patients from provinces could only get treatment in Baku, according to the appropriate directions.

The newspaper criticizes the state of diagnosis and treatment in the country, saying that is why the citizens go to Iran and Georgia for treatment.
