The main topic of the press today was the meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers on the results of the first quarter of 2016.
The Azadlig commented the situation around the PFPA leader Ali Kerimli. As it is known, in recent days protests are held before his house because of his criticism of the authorities for the situation at the front.
Member of the Coordinating Center of the National Council of Democratic Forces Gultekin Hajibeyli protested against such actions by the authorities for their dirty technologies.
The lawyer Aslan Ismayilov expressed surprise at the protest in front of the house of Ali Karimli, as recently PFPA leadership showed solidarity with the authorities in the Karabakh issue, rejecting criticism.
The Yeni Musavat assesses the meeting of the Cabinet of Ministers on the first quarter of this year.
According to the economist Vugar Bayramov, the growth rate of GDP in the first quarter was not maintained because of the drop in oil prices. The export of oil is still making up 85% and it will be hard to quickly get rid of the dependence on oil.
The expert welcomes the idea of social housing. However, to implement this idea, the land seized by officials in the regions should be used. By the way, most of this land is suitable for agriculture.
The economist proposes to introduce a tax to return the lands back. One of the main problems in the growth of production is the intervention of heads of executive authorities in the regions in the activities of entrepreneurs. -0-

Baku, often called the "Caucasian Dubai," is increasingly known for systematic violations of residents' housing rights. During urban renovations and the construction of elegant new buildings, thousands of families in Azerbaijan’s capital have been unlawfully deprived of their homes. Many, recognizing the futility of resistance, settle for inadequate monetary compensation for their irreplaceable property. A minority, placing faith in the Housing Code, demand fair compensation from construction companies but often lose everything—both their homes and any form of recompense.
