The protest of the National Council against pressure on citizens, mass appeal of banks to the courts, violence of the General Directorate for Combating Organized Criminality against citizens, and the situation in the banking system are the leading topics of today's press.
The website Azadliq.info publishes the National Council’s statement in connection with the deputy chairman of PFPA Gezal Bayramli, who suffered insults and threats, but the authorities have not taken any action in this regard. The incident received wide publicity in the media and social networks, but the police said the phone call was to a wrong number. No action is taken against the person.
In all likelihood, the threats against Bayramli are associated with her active protection of the rights of those arrested in the Nardaran case and the police openly demanded her not protecting them.
The newspaper Yeni Musavat writes that banks en masse appeal to the courts against non-payment of loans by citizens. The Agsu branch of Demir Bank has filed lawsuits against the majority of the inhabitants of the district and court hearings take place almost daily. The debtors are withdrawn 50% of their salaries.
Bizim Yol writes about the Internet provider Bakinternet, a monopolist in the market, for its disrespectful treatment of clients.
There is a version that Bakinternet is interested in the mass termination of the Internet. In some districts of Baku Bakinternet is the sole provider, and there is no alternative to it. Moreover, this monopolization is patronized by the Ministry of Communications, as it is its entity.
All complaints about Bakinternet to the Ministry of Communications remain unanswered.
