Heydar Aliyev's place in the Azerbaijani statehood, the likelihood of sanctions against Azerbaijan, problems with heating in schools, and the future of the government are the themes of today's media.
The newspaper Azerbaijan writes about the place and role of ex-President Heydar Aliyev in Azerbaijan's history. The MP Khanhuseyn Kazimli’s article is timed to the day of the former President's death.
The website Azadliq.info writes about the Global Magnitsky Act, the adoption of which is expected in the United States. As is well known, it will be applied against the corrupt authorities, plundering state property and pursuing journalists and bloggers. If the Azerbaijani authorities continue their traditional policy of repression, they can get even into a more difficult position.
Echo has published an article about the heating problem in 1,000 schools of the country. The capital's schools are mainly connected to the central heating. The Ministry of Education pays for the heating, receiving the funds from the Ministry of Finance.
In the regional schools the situation is different. Some school institutions have their own heat boilers (working with gas or diesel fuel). The idea is that fuel costs should be funded by the Ministry of Education. But today, hundreds of children and teachers suffer from cold, for at least 1,000 schools are not connected to central heating. At best, these institutions heat their classrooms with firewood or diesel fuel.
Yeni Musavat talks about the return of loans, which the government has taken abroad. Who will return the 500-million loan?
The expert Rovshan Agayev says that in 2017 a foreign loan of about 1.3 billion dollars will be received only for infrastructure projects. A part of it will be used in the state budget, and a part will be spent by state-owned companies. Additionally, 2.5 million manat is supposed to be spent on investment projects. About 300 million manat will be invested in cotton growing. The expert Natig Jafarli is concerned about the return of loans, the guarantor of which is the state itself.
