The author writes about large oil projects being implemented by Azerbaijan, about the state support of private entrepreneurship through the Foundation created for these purposes, which has allocated up to 2 billion dollars for farmers over the past 10 years. Further on, the article talks about the opening of the Baku-Tbilisi-Kars railway, the opening of new jobs, and the construction of new roads.
The website Azadliqinfo.az writes about the outdated method of management and diseases that get younger. The article criticizes the health situation in the country, where thousands of citizens go abroad for treatment. There is a bad tendency - illnesses in the country are getting younger. This is probably due to the lack of preventive measures. Currently, cardiovascular diseases are at the first place on the level of disability.

At the same time, there is a rejuvenation of various diseases, which is caused by the difficult social and economic situation in the country.
