Azerbaijan-Iran relations, a look at the economic relations between the two countries, ways to solve "problem loans" are the leading topics of today's press.
The Azerbaijan newspaper writes about Azerbaijani-Iranian relations on the background of the signed bilateral documents and the visit of Iranian President Rouhani, which ended March 29.
The author regards this visit as the beginning of a new stage in the bilateral relations. The article assesses economic cooperation with joint projects, supporting each other's positions within the framework of international organizations. A special place is given to the issue of cooperation in the Caspian.
The newspaper Novoye Vremya continues the favorite topic about bank loans issued in dollars, which should be divided equally among banks, borrowers and the state. It has been said for several years, but there are no real progress towards solving this problem. According to experts, this problem can be considered before the elections, but after that, there is no hope for a positive outcome.
The website Azadliqinfo.az writes that the decrease in exports from Azerbaijan to Iran is 77%, and Ilham Aliyev presented it as development. According to the author, despite official statements, there is no talk of economic development between the parties. Despite the fact that over the past 4 years, transactions exceeding $ 194 million were carried out between the two countries, Azerbaijan did not earn a penny from it, the author claims.
