The results of the Geneva talks, the rise in food prices, and how to protect the rule of law are the leading topics of today's press.
The newspaper Azerbaijan wrote about the meeting of the Presidents of Azerbaijan and Armenia in Geneva on October 16. The author asserts that the talks on the Karabakh issue are no longer imitative, thanks to the military operation in April 2016.
The Geneva talks were held under the spell of the possibility of military operations in the conflict zone. April clashes are possible at any time, since Armenians use bombs with chemical composition to destroy the inhabitants of Azerbaijan.
President Ilham Aliyev gave the co-chairs of the MG a final choice: either to start negotiations on the real liberation of the territories from occupation, or this issue will be the task of Azerbaijani soldiers.
The newspaper Echo published an article on the growth of prices for food. In Azerbaijan, 70% of all income of the population is spent on food, although in developed countries, this figure does not exceed 30%.
The government should abolish VAT on food products that are significantly more expensive and lower customs and tax rates. In a word, it should contribute to a fall in food prices.
The newspaper Novoye Vremya wrote about problems with maintenance of supremacy of the law. The article describes the significance of the Judicial-Legal Council and the decisions it makes. -0---
