The official Azerbaijan newspaper published an article by the Chief
Editor Bakhtiyar Sadikhov titled: We All Have One Motherland – Azerbaijan. It pointed to the fact that the representatives of Azerbaijani Diaspora abroad should promote the country by all possible means. This is necessary in a smear campaign, fanned by Armenians, he wrote, calling for support for the ruling regime.
Azadlig commented on the anti-Western article by the head of the Presidential Administration Ramiz Mehdiyev, criticizing the policy of the financial institutions of the West, who want the destruction of national economies.
In four months of this year, investment in the non-oil sector in Azerbaijan decreased by 73%, and in agriculture – by 4 times.
While the foreign debt per capita amounted to $ 9 in 1994, now it is $ 750, the article said.
If the West even wanted to, it could not have caused such a blow to the national economy in such a short time and devalue the national currency by 100%.
However, the Azerbaijani government has been able to do it. Tragic is the social situation of the population. For example, 2.5 million people repay loans, as it is mentioned in the article.
Yeni Musavat gave comments from the expert Natig Jafarli on the IV Congress of World Azerbaijanis held in Baku. The President Ilham Aliyev, speaking there, called on the Azerbaijanis living abroad to invest in Azerbaijan. The expert believes there are no conditions for a normal investment in Azerbaijan since the principle of inviolability of property is not observed and there is lack of judicial independence.
So, Azerbaijan is among the countries that violate the right to private property and the European Court considers the cases.
The expert also recalled the cases of foreign businessmen Paolo Parviz and Huseyn Arabul, who lost their money.
In addition, on charges of tax evasion, around a hundred entrepreneurs of Azerbaijan have been declared wanted by Interpol. Therefore, it will be hard to attract investors to Azerbaijan, he said.
