Evaluation of the BTC project by the regional President of BP, why roads sink, and the participation of elected bodies in the country's administration are the leading topics of today's press.
The website YAP-org.az writes about the 12-year activity of the BTC pipeline.
The regional president of BP for Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey, Gary Jones, called the transportation of 3 billion barrels of oil by BTC a significant success.
This pipeline is the safest in the world and environmentally friendly. The author recalls the history of the construction of the oil pipeline and the first transportation of oil.
The newspaper Novoye Vremya writes about lawlessness in the field of road construction. One of these days a section of Hasan Aliyev Street in the Nasimi district of Baku sank again. This section of the road was repaired after the collapse a few days ago, but yesterday the asphalt once again sank. And before that, less than a month after the commissioning of the capitally repaired Salyan-Neftchala state highway, asphalt sank again on the site near the Bank village. Nobody explains why, after several months of overhaul, huge funds went to nothing.
The newspaper Bizim Yol writes about the future of the country's management system, noting the need for liquidation of the executive authorities system in the regions. This issue has become especially acute after the attempt on the head of the executive power of Gence.
The expert Muhammad Asadullazadeh believes this system, like in Turkey, should be liquidated, and the powers should be transferred to the municipalities. The executive bodies are vestiges of the Soviet era, the expert believes.

The closure of Azerbaijan's land borders was discussed during the parliamentary session on November 25. While the government’s decision cites the coronavirus pandemic as the main reason—despite the World Health Organization declaring its end last year—Zahid Oruj, Chair of the Human Rights Committee in the Milli Majlis, pointed to other factors. He stated, "Opening the borders could result in an influx of hundreds of thousands of non-Azerbaijani refugees due to the Russia-Ukraine war. Additionally, in Iran, many are prepared to cross into Azerbaijan to safeguard their lives and assets amid military strikes. Such waves of refugees could lead to humanitarian, social, and cultural clashes that may threaten political stability."
