The settlement of the Karabakh conflict, the number of lawsuits in connection with loans, the implementation of reforms, the possible results of the criticism of officials by President Aliyev are the main topics of today's press.
The official newspaper Azerbaijan writes about the unique opportunity - phased variant of Karabakh conflict settlement. The author recalls the April clashes that changed the status quo. If the situation does not change, this will lead to new clashes, says the author and refers to President Aliyev's statements at the last meeting of the Cabinet. "The issue should be solved in stages. Territorial integrity of Azerbaijan must be ensured. Creation of a second Armenian state is impossible. Nagorno-Karabakh will never be granted independence. "The author recalls the adoption by the NATO summit in Warsaw of a document that supports the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan.
Azadlig writes about the trials in connection with loans. According to the lawyer Javad Javadov, 75% of trials are connected with the credit debts of citizens.
According to him, in 2015 the courts considered 228,428 civil cases, of which 171,664 were associated with credit debts. Currently there are no statistics for the first half of 2016, but there is no doubt about the growing number of such cases.
Novoye Vremya has published an article entitled Pessimistic Report from OPEC, in which the author argues that in case of decrease in the oil production in Azerbaijan, the country will have to develop the economy. The President reiterated at the last meeting of the government that Azerbaijan will become independent of oil prices in future. Oil production in Azerbaijan in 2016 will amount to 0.85 million barrels / day, which is 10,000 barrels less than in 2015, OPEC said in the report. According to the document, Azerbaijan's oil production declined in June compared with May by 10,000 barrels / day to 0.78 million barrels / day, and as compared to June of last year, it grew by 20,000 barrels / day. OPEC said that the main volume of oil produced in Azerbaijan falls on the block of fields Azeri-Chirag-Guneshli. "Because of the lack of new projects, in 2017 the oil production in Azerbaijan will be reduced by 40,000 barrels," the report says. Diversification of the economy and economic reform is not a question of one or two days.
Yeni Musavat has published comments made by the National Council member Vidadi Mirkamal about the possible results of the last meeting of the government, where criticism of officials was voiced by President Ilham Aliyev. In particular, the President said that he knew the names of the officials who seized lands, where no seeding work is done. Vidadi Mirkamal considers that these are just words, nothing more. Until now, the President has criticized officials, but they have not drawn any conclusions.
They are all in the same system, and the "threats" are just designed for the public.
