Press review March 16, 2018

The socio-economic development of the country, the attitude of the authorities towards the history of the APR, the arbitrariness of collectors are the leading topics of today's press.

The newspaper "Azerbaijan" writes about the rapid social and economic development of the country, which is the impetus for increasing the well-being of internally displaced persons and refugees. In order to improve their situation from 2003 to 2017, the head of state issued 55 decrees and orders. For this category of people, 97 settlements with a total square of 3.2 million square meters were built. Conditions for more than 250 internally displaced persons and refugees have been improved. The author gives figures on the improvement of this category of persons in 2017.

The site "Azadlıqinfo.az" writes about the upcoming celebration of the 100th anniversary of the APR and the insincere attitude of the current government to this date. The author regrets that such a significant date will be mared during the rule of the New Azerbaijan Party.

The author also recalls the zealous attitude of the authorities towards the personality of one of the founders of the APR, Mammad Emine Rasulzade.

"Novoye Vremya" newspaper : changes to the law "On advocates and advocacy", the Code of Civil Procedure and the Code of Administrative Procedure exclude the activity of collectors in Azerbaijan since January 1 of this year.

In view of the updated legislation coming into force at the end of last year, the Chamber for Supervision of Financial Markets notified banks of the illegality of cooperation with collectors. However, one of the largest collection agencies in the country - the Baku Collecting Agency (BOA) has announced the recruitment of employees, planning to continue activities.
