About 2,400 families have not received land shares

In Azerbaijan 2,400 families since 1996 have been waiting for mutual land formerly belonging to collective farms and state farms. According to specialists of the State Committee on Land and Cartography (SCLC), that is both for objective and subjective reasons.

Chief of Staff of SCLC Rafig Suleymanov told Turan some farms are to be reformed in the border zone (two villages in the border area with Russia). Land privatization reform on the farms on the front line with Armenia (a village in the Gazakh region), and the area of ??contact in Goranboy, Tartar and other areas of the occupied territories of Nagorno-Karabakh, has partially completed. In some areas (Astara and Lankaran) part of the land to undergo privatization belongs to the state forest fund.

But in the village Mugtadyr of the Khachmaz district the reason why the peasants were left without land shares can not be considered objective. Azerbaijan State Caspian Shipping Company, referring to the fact that the land is its subsistent land for crops, does not give it to the citizens.

According to the SCLC, December 31, 2012 from 873,618 families (3,438,625 people) 871 220 families (3,428,136 persons), based on legal documents, received 1,393,274 hectares of land. Not distributed are 1,726 ha.

Structure on land ownership is as follows: public land - 4,913,600 ha (56.9%), municipal land - 2,032,700 ha (23.5%) and private land - 1,695,100 ha (19.6%). -08B-
