Press review for 08.05.21

The website "Bizimyolinfo.az" writes that there are serious gaps in a number of  station of the “Ambulance”   city service that cannot be resolved and their workers may go on strike at any time.

That is why, on May 7, workers of three substations of the capital's service refused to go to the calls. As the reason, they named the non-payment of their due salary allowance for several months. Health workers are unhappy that they are not receiving protection from the virus.

Multiple appeals of doctors to the management remained unanswered.

“Sfera.az” writes about changes and contradictions in the law on freedom of religion. The amendments imply a ban on the coercion of children into religion.

However, theologians consider it incorrect to pose the question without preliminary discussion in society. In addition, the concept of "coercion" can be interpreted in different ways.

“Yenisabah.az” writes about Lavrov's statements in Yerevan regarding the Zangezur corridor. Lavrov's opinion that the road cannot be opened without the consent of Yerevan testifies to Moscow's support for Yerevan's position.

Armenia's refusal to comply with the paragraph of the statement of November 10 means a refusal from all other points of the agreement. That is, the document itself loses its validity and then Baku can pose the following question to the Russian peacekeepers: What have you lost here?

“Mətbuat.az” writes about the problems of passenger transport in the capital, or rather about its congestion due to the closure of the metro.

Coronavirus prevention is undermined by crowded city buses and no one keeping their distance. Steps to upgrade urban transport and increase the number of buses do not solve this problem.  Transport experts suggest bringing in private transport companies, which could ease the situation.
