Press Review 07.10. 2017

Azerbaijan's relations with the European Union, the reasons for the treatment of citizens abroad, the problem of heating are the leading topics of today's press.

The newspaper "Azerbaijan" concerns the issue of cooperation with the European Union. The author makes a short excursion into the history of relations with the EU.

In 2016, trade with the EU amounted to 35% of the total trade turnover of Azerbaijan, and for 4 months in 2017 - 38%. Over the past 10 years, more than 1,300 EU companies have operated in Azerbaijan.

The newspaper "Echo" publishes an article about medical mistakes in Azerbaijan, because of which people are treated abroad.

The appearance in the Criminal Code of Azerbaijan of a separate article on responsibility for medical error will not do anything. In the legislative framework, there is approximately such an article, but it sounds a little different - causing death by negligence due to improper performance by a person of their professional duties. The problem is impunity. This article seldom leads those responsible to justice. There are many cases when, due to a careless attitude of a doctor, patients remain crippled,or even die.

The newspaper "New time" publishes a report on the problems of heating apartments in the winter. On the eve of the heating season, Ibrahim Qarbalaev, the head of the Public Relations Department of PA "Azerigaz" noted that first of all the gas will be supplied by boiler houses that do not have debts.

The State Oil Company annually pumps less and less gas into the gas storage facilities during the summer period, and therefore the early cooling, when it is necessary to increase the flow of gas, causes the natural desire of gas producers to save "blue fuel",
