Baku, Azerbaijan, Jan. 19
Trend:
The rallies in some districts of Azerbaijan were not connected with the devaluation of the manat, said Lieutenant-General Madat Guliyev, the head of the Azerbaijani State Security Service.
"Only those individuals who can't and don't want to work are making such attempts," he said. "They say: if you have taken money in the bank, write it off. We informed the president about this."
Guliyev said that the crisis is being observed worldwide, and Azerbaijan is carrying out great work to combat the consequences of the crisis.
"The flour prices have been reduced in the country," he said. "The prices on gasoline and other products are being controlled. We are trying to keep the value of Azerbaijan's currency."
Guliyev added that President Ilham Aliyev is informed of all the recent developments and implements innovations.
