Press Review 21.12.13

The official press publishes reports on the visit of Ilham Aliyev to the northern region of the country.

        

Azadlig reports that law enforcement agencies of France are interested in the legality of funds of the renowned Azerbaijani businessman Hafiz Mammadov. In particular, the French authorities figure out the legality of money, for which Mamedov acquired the French football club Lance.

Anar Aliyev's statement that he is a common honest businessman who lawfully and transparently received a half of SOCAR contracts convinced nobody and just caused irony at the experts. Observers quite rightly note that if Anar Aliyev acted lawfully and transparently, his name should have appeared in the list of millionaires and the Ministry of Taxes should submit a list of his contributions to the treasury.

The torture of the journalist Parviz Hashimli in the DHS jail continues. His relatives reported that the journalist is put naked in solitary confinement. This is punishment for the journalist transmitting information about the pressure on him.

The adviser to the Musavat leader Yegana Hajiyeva left the party, saying that she puts the public interest above party interests.

Mobile operators Azercell and Bakcell denied the Communications Ministry reports that mobile telecom tariffs will be reduced.

Yeni Musavat argues that the companions of the entrepreneur Reza Zarrabi arrested in Turkey were the brother of the Sheikh, Javanshir Pashazade, the leader of Nakhchivan Vasif Talibov, the head of the firm Palmali Mubariz Mansimov and Royal Bank.

The newspaper calls the head of the Customs Aydin Aliyev and the Minister of Taxes Fazil Mammadov people compromising the power.

Legal experts say that tax charges against the head of the Election Monitoring Center Anar Mammadli are unfounded because the body should not pay taxes.
