In two companies (Azerenerjitikintiqurasdirma and Azerneqliyyyatyoltikinti) the state controls a majority stake. According to available information, the administrative building of Azerneqliyyyatyoltikinti was demolished in connection with the expansion of the Baku seaside boulevard. However, its shareholders have not received the financial compensation owed.
The contests to identify a consultant will be held in early October. -----08D
