Evaluation of economic reforms, deepening of the crisis, the need to build closer economic ties with the West, and illegal tree felling are the leading topics of today's press.
The Azerbaijan newspaper has published an article entitled Successful Formula for Economic Modernization, which praises the reforms carried out in the country. The author notes the operational economic policy of President Ilham Aliyev and says the country's economy is entering a new period of development of innovative solutions.

Echo has published an article entitled European Countries, and Not Iran, Can Save Economy of Azerbaijan. It talks about the conference on Investment Opportunities of Azerbaijan and Iran, held in Baku the day before.
For Azerbaijan, it is more expedient to establish close economic relations with the West, because Iran cannot offer an alternative to Azerbaijan, and European countries can help in the development of the industry, according to the article.

Greenery prevents pollution and regulates the sound background of the city. Currently, the penalty for illegal cutting of trees is from 350 to 30,000 manat.
