The development of the Azerbaijani army, the situation in the light industry, toughening of punishment against judges, and lack of competition are the leading topics of today's press.
The Azerbaijan writes that the Azerbaijani army is the strongest one in the region, which is the merit of Heydar Aliyev and the current President of the country.
The author also draws parallels with the army of Armenia.
The Echo publishes an article on the state of the light industry, which needs to be reanimated, which is very difficult.
In the days of the USSR, Azerbaijan exported cotton in large quantities. In addition, there were enterprises for sewing clothes. With the collapse of the Union, all this disappeared.
The Novoye Vremya writes about the toughening of punishments for judges who have made an unjust decision. According to the proposed changes, judges will be fined from 5,000 to 8,000 manats or punished with imprisonment for up to three years for deliberate adoption of an unfair sentence. According to the current legislation, the amount of the fine is from 500 to 1,000 manats.
The Yeni Musavat talks about monopoly and lack of competition. Economists are investigating the rise in price of bananas. For example, 1 kg of bananas rose to 3 manats 50 gepiks in March, although in 2016 the price was 1.25-1.30 manats.
Experts believe that the government cannot cope with the monopoly and there is no competition in the field of banana import in Azerbaijan. -0---
