A few houses would be demolished under the claim of Binaqadi Oil Company. At this time, the oil company claims lands illegally sold to citizens by the Khojasan local government.
The case on illegal land allocation for housing has already been considered in the First Baku Administrative - Economic Court. The claim was confirmed. The Baku Court of Appeal upheld this decision. It is up to the Supreme Court now.
Binaqadi Oil Company is a production body of SOCAR that in 2010-11 repeatedly demolished citizens' homes without trial. As a result, December 14, 2011 in the village Sulutepe Binagadi tension escalated into a clash between the SOCAR guards and the citizens who had a permit from the local municipality to build their housing. The guards beat a few dozen people and seriously injured an employee of the newspaper Zerkalo and the Institute for Reporters Freedom and Safety Idrak Abbasov.
According to the facts sounded in the courts, only on the land owned by Binaqadi Oil Company, illegally built was housing for thousands of people. The State Oil Company instead of reacting to illegal actions of municipalities that allot the land to people, awaits expansion of the illegal settlements and only then starts the mass demolition of houses of the poor. -17D-
