Azerbaijan has published an extensive article on the foreign visits of President Ilham Aliyev that indicate the international prestige of Azerbaijan. Particularly noted is Aliyev's visit to the United States, which is seen as a new stage of strategic partnership between the two countries.
Azadlig continues to post comments on the proposed amendment by Ilham Aliyev to the Constitution, providing for the extension of the presidential term to 7 years, providing him the right to dissolve parliament and appoint the First Vice-president. The author believes that instead of solving the problems of the crisis, the government is trying to establish a dynastic regime.
According to the author, Aliyev, knowing the inevitable deterioration of the situation, and not trusting his environment, is already preparing the constitutional powers to save his power or provide its transmission in the event of an emergency situation.
Novoye Vremya focuses on economic issues, paying attention to the growth of the budget deficit due to falling oil revenues.

The newspaper Bizim Yol focuses on disruptions to water supply in Baku, despite the huge investment in this area. So, just for the construction of the Samur-Absheron channel, which includes a water reservoir Tahtakorpu, the Oil Fund allocated 1.3 billion AZN. The construction is still ongoing. Another 780 million AZN was spent on the construction of the Oguz-Gabala-Baku water pipeline. Then it was stated that 85% of Baku residents will be provided with drinking water continuously. But it did not happen and Bakuvians still get water in a limited way at certain hours. Moreover, the drainage system along the water pipeline is broken, which, on the one hand led to the bogging of the lands, and on the other - to the drying up of the walnut orchards. More than 30 springs and artesian wells dried up in the Oguz district. –0--
