Press Review 21/10/2016

The development of Azerbaijan against the background of the Karabakh conflict, the increasing discontent, the poisoning by carbon monoxide, and the reduction of oil production are the leading topics of today's press.

The Azerbaijan newspaper writes about the development of the country against the background of the Karabakh conflict. The author touches upon the economic success achieved, stressing that this is happening against the backdrop of the conflict, and recalls that the conflict will be resolved within the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan.

The website Azadliq.info writes about the likelihood of mass protests in the tie with the growing social tensions, unemployment, poverty, and high prices. The author reminds us about the recently increasing social protests in the regions of the country.

Echo has published an article titled Azerbaijan Can Find New Oilfields after 2024. Azerbaijan is ready to unilaterally withdraw from the increase in oil production, President Ilham Aliyev said. This is possible because the oil extraction has actually fallen.

The maximum oil production was in 2012-13 and the fall will be seen until 2024. These predictions have come true and continue to come true.

Geologists say that the field Guneshli has deep deposits of oil, which have not yet been explored. Foreigners have paid attention to this and are actively investing.

Bizim Yol analyzes the situation with deaths from carbon monoxide. Such cases have increased from the beginning of the heating season. Nobody assumes any liability for that either directly or indirectly. As for Azerigaz, this agency does not comply with its direct responsibilities and does not check the state of gas pipes in homes.
