Economic progress in the country, the relationship between power and citizens, and the dependence of the economy on oil are the leading topics of today's press.
The Azerbaijan newspaper writes that Azerbaijan's sustainable economic development has turned it into a model for many countries. The author writes about the development of the non-oil sector, which is a priority for the country.
Currently, there are 3 industrial parks in the country. Over the past 15 years more than 230 billion US dollars has been invested in the country's economy.
The website Azadliqinfo.az talks about the relationship between the authorities and citizens against the background of the deaths of people as a result of a fire in the Drug Addiction Combat Center.
The authorities remember their citizens only after their death, as it was during the death of 15 people in a fire in a 16-story building in the Binagadi district of the capital.
The author complains that the money is spent on unnecessary events, and not on those necessary, as a result of which the tragic death of people occurs.
The newspaper Novoye Vremya writes about the export potential of Azerbaijan, which depends on oil. In recent years, a lot has been written about the growth of non-oil exports, the sale of tomatoes, persimmons, and hazelnuts abroad.
Thus, in 2017, 229.7 thousand tons of vegetables (an increase of 84.5%), and 260.7 thousand tons of fruit (an increase of 21.6%) were exported from Azerbaijan.
The other day the Fitch agency"s representative stressed that the growth of the non-oil sector in Azerbaijan depends heavily on state investments and this trend will continue in 2018-2020. In addition, the export potential of the country is heavily influenced by changes in the prices of oil and gas.

Baku, often called the "Caucasian Dubai," is increasingly known for systematic violations of residents' housing rights. During urban renovations and the construction of elegant new buildings, thousands of families in Azerbaijan’s capital have been unlawfully deprived of their homes. Many, recognizing the futility of resistance, settle for inadequate monetary compensation for their irreplaceable property. A minority, placing faith in the Housing Code, demand fair compensation from construction companies but often lose everything—both their homes and any form of recompense.
