Settling Debts
During Novruz, Azerbaijanis traditionally prioritize settling debts as a symbolic gesture of starting the new year with a clean slate and ensuring financial stability. However, in recent years, economic challenges, including inflation and limited employment opportunities for young people, have posed significant obstacles to this tradition.
The soaring inflation rates in Azerbaijan have made it increasingly difficult for individuals and families to manage their finances effectively. Coupled with the lack of adequate employment opportunities, especially for the younger generation, many Azerbaijanis find themselves struggling to make ends meet and are unable to fulfill their financial obligations.
Despite these challenges, Azerbaijanis strive to uphold the tradition of paying off debts during Novruz, often relying on support from extended family networks and community resources to alleviate their financial burdens. Additionally, initiatives aimed at promoting financial literacy and providing assistance to those in need play a crucial role in addressing the economic hardships faced by many Azerbaijanis during this time.
As Azerbaijanis navigate the complexities of economic uncertainty, the tradition of debt settlement during Novruz serves as a reminder of resilience, community support, and the hope for a brighter future ahead.
