November 11, Fineko/abc.az. We think that reason of low spending on science is structural problems.

ABC.AZ reports that Finance Minister Samir Sharifov said this at a joint meeting of the Milli Majlis committees on legal policy & state building, defense, security and anti-corruption, human rights, international relations and inter-parliamentary relations.

The minister emphasized that the money allocated to the Science Development Fund has never been spent:

“The corresponding decision was made by the president. Part of the Academy of Sciences was transferred to the Ministry of Science and Education. This Ministry was given 6 months to prepare its proposals. I am sure that after preparing these proposals, we’ll take appropriate decisions. This will be reflected in the State Budget. It would be naive under the current structure to expect something from science simply by raising salaries.”
