Press Review 30/12/2016

Ensuring social and political stability in the country, higher prices in the coming year, the inability to obtain cash prizes, and the results of 2016 are the leading topics of today's press.

The newspaper Azerbaijan writes about security and stability in the country, despite the scandals and political turmoil in neighboring countries, the terrorist attacks in Europe and in neighboring Turkey. The author calls Azerbaijan an island of stability.

The website Azadliq.info leads the arguments of experts on the possible surprises in the coming year, which are waiting for the country's citizens. Experts believe it is possible that the price of transport, including the metro, will increase. Serious problems exist with the issue of salaries and pensions, which will be delayed. It is also expected that the cost of gasoline will increase in the coming year.

Echo has published an article about the low salaries in the country.

Under the law, employees of state agencies should be necessarily paid bonuses, but this does not happen. Such a thing as the 13^th salary has almost disappeared.
