I bet economy is so bad of a mess that sultan Gaylord is confessing


Ilham Aliyev: Our revenues have dropped

See what is happening in Ukraine, the Middle East, Syria, Iraq and Libya.

The territorial integrity of these countries is violated. No positive trends to stabilize the situation, to restore peace in the Middle East in the future are seen.

According Oxu.Az with reference to the APA, President Ilham Aliyev made the statement during today's meeting on economic issues and the preparation of the budget for 2016.

The President noted that stability, development and normal life continue in Azerbaijan:

"We have defended our country from these catastrophes, we cut off the dirty hands overstretched to us. We will further protect our country and ensure a happy future."

President Ilham Aliyev said oil price dropped significantly over the past period

"Apparently, the reasons for this should be studied by experts and analysts. But it is possible that the sharp drop in oil prices is the result of a political order. Despite this, we have to be ready for it. Diversification of the economy, the moves made earlier in connection with the non-oil sector have helped us to get out of the situation with minimal losses.

Despite the fact that our revenues have dropped significantly. If last year the price of oil was above $ 100, today oil costs less than $ 50. The price of oil has dropped two times.

But we are trying and will try to make the people of Azerbaijan not affected by this. All social programs, infrastructure projects are implemented, security and social protection of the people are ensured."

Indeed! I follow up on economic news very closely. Azerbaijan is one of the countries where you just can't find independent sources talking about the economic situation. All you can find are the imaginary inflated figures of the government. Oil has dropped to less than 50...the one year outlook is 51-55$. This has to affect the azeri economy. Whether they confess or not. In fact, the increased aggression on the border could be no more than a diversion to take the eye of the public from the economic issues and mislead them with stories of renewed Armenian "aggression".


On another note...I have a question and I appreciate an answer if you guys have any...there's a renewed talk of a 200 million $ Russian soft loan to Armenia for weapons purchase...Is this the same 200 million we got a month ago? or is this a new one? the talks started a few days ago after the Putin-Sargsyan meeting....any news?
