Baku/21.09.21/Turan: The European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) made a decision on the cases of applicants from Azerbaijan who complained about the demolition of their homes.
All cases were combined into a single proceeding, said Khalid Agaliyev, coordinator of the Media Rights Institute.
Zulfiya Aliyeva and 6 other residents of the Sabail district of the capital complained that in 2011-12 their houses were demolished by the decision of the Baku Executive Power due to the construction of a highway.
Residents were assigned monetary compensation at the rate of 1,500 manats per 1 square meter. However, the citizens did not receive 30% of the promised money.
The ECHR awarded the applicants pecuniary compensation in the amount of EUR 43,030. They will receive another 3 thousand euros for moral damage. –06D-
