Protests in Ismayilli might not have happened if th authorities had provided life and employment of the local population - the chairman of the non-governmental Centre for Economic Development Gubad Ibadoglu said.
According to him, the Mountain Shirvan economic region is beyond the attention of the political authorities - in the past year they only allocated 1.1% of the total investment in the country amid grandiose buildings in the capital, as well as a multi-billion resort in the neighboring Gusar. The wages are 40% lower than the average for Azerbaijan, and there is a lower level of full employment. - 17D-
