The international significance of the Southern Gas Corridor project, the inactivity of fountains in Baku parks, the implementation of labor rights, and the views of some MPs on road transport problems are the leading topics of today's press.
The newspaper Azerbaijan writes about the meaning of the Southern Gas Corridor (SGC), which is a great achievement of energy security. SGC, passing 443 km through Azerbaijan and 248 km through Georgia, connects the Georgian-Turkish border to Trans-Anatolian Gas Pipeline (TANAP). Passing 1,850 km through Turkey, it connects with the Trans-Adriatic Pipeline (TAP), which will be the last segment of the project.
The total length of TAP is 878 km, of which 550 km will pass through Greece, 215 km - through Albania, 105 km - across the bottom of the Adriatic Sea, and the last 8 km will be in Italy.
SGC and TANAP have already been put into operation, and the construction of TAP continues. Azerbaijan is the leader in the implementation of SGC, the newspaper writes.
The website Khazarkhabar.com.az writes about the inactivity of fountains in Baku, although a lot of money has been spent on them. The author specifies parks in which fountains stand inactive though in such a hot period they should function.
The website Modern.az writes that the State Road Agency started repairing the Baku - Guba - Russian Border road on June 27. On the one hand, there is 40-degree heat, and on the other hand, there are traffic jams under the scorching sun. Working in the open air in the heat, some workers lose consciousness, which is a result of violation of their labor rights. According to the Labor Code, it is forbidden to work outdoors in a 40-degree heat. Such a warning is posted on the website of the Ministry of Labor. The hottest time is from 11.00 to 17.00.
The website Qafqazinfo.az writes about abuses during the repair of the Sumgait road. At yesterday's plenary session of the parliament, deputies discussed the traffic jam on the Sumgait road and other transport issues.
So, they talked about the promised, but never started construction of a subway station in the Bakikhanov settlement and about the closure of the Khirdalan road, which could lead to a transport collapse.
The MPs also spoke about the situation on the January 20 Subway Station - Masazir road and the impossibility of expanding the roads due to the proximity of residential buildings to the road. -0----
