The staff of the steel giant Baku Steel Company stormed on the night of November 28, the last bastion of small businesses in the steel business - LLC Oceanius, located in the village of Baladzhary, Baku. In July and August this year were closed by force more than 20 private companies smelting iron and steel production.
Yesterday the owner of LLC Oceanius Dilber Rzayev held a press conference at which he blamed for the incident management of Baku Steel Company (BSC). "My company was attacked for the first time on July 27. Then I went to the reception manager BSC Rasim Mammadov. He asked me to suspend the proceedings pending the receipt for instructions." Rzayev said that since the company guarding the guards BSC. About 30 employees of the metal rolling shop during this period were without pay. Finally, on November 27 Rzayev gave the order to light the stove, which is immediately recognized in the BSC. "There was raided by the company with trying to carry raw materials and factory equipment. I myself was subject to harassment and pressure from the guards, led by BSC Fariz Ramizli "- said Rzayev
Lawyer Aslan Ismailov said at a news conference that police open way a blind eye to this lawlessness. "I was at a reception held in Baku by the rapporteurs of PACE Monitoring Committee and reported to them about the situation with the problems of the protection of property rights, in particular in the sector of industry. However, it seemed that they are in the "caviar diplomacy" with the authorities of Azerbaijan. Despite my invitation, they did not attend the press conference and had a total disregard for the human rights issue," said Aslan Ismailov.
We note that neither the police, nor the BSC management responded to allegations against them. In these processes, appears the name of the Presidential Administration manager Ramiz Mehdiyev, which has allegedly taken over the sector of metallurgy and finished steel products in Azerbaijan.
It was learned that LLC Baku Steel Company received the production facilities (40 thousand tons of steel per month) of the Azerbaijani-Turkish joint venture DHT Metal in Baku. The owners of this company (DHT Holding) almost completely sold their business in Azerbaijan. - 08C-
