Beaches of Pirshagi captured by oligarchs?
The Pirshagy beach in Baku was anciently known for its wonderful sea and beach of fine sand. At the beginning of the 1990s these beaches were severely affected by predatory export of sand, as a construction material. Now they are hosted by other dealers, which are enclosing kilometers of beach.
Each boss, in violation of laws, walls his "fiefdom" with 4-meter steel piles that go for tens of meters into the sea. They have built villas on the beaches, and now they are capturing the sea.
On January 13, 2003 Heydar Aliyev signed a decree on measures for regulating the use of the Caspian coast. The document reads that to ensure the right of citizens to have a rest on beaches, all the territories in 130 meter line from the sea, passed for lease to physical and legal persons, shall be returned to the administrative or judicial ways. But very soon they authorities understood first they themselves will suffer. Therefore, five years later the Parliament decided to reduce the 130 meter zone "to 20-50 meters." Certain amendments were made to the Land Code, the Code of Administrative Offences, and the Law on Land Reform. After that, the law allowed the use of the coast for public purposes.
The executive authorities were given the right to take on lease 20-50 meters of sea line, or to fences it under the condition "not to restrict the movement of citizens."
It is easily seen how these laws are compiled in the Absheron beaches. Tens of kilometers along the coast were captured, and fenced with 8-10 meters high walls. Behind these walls are multimillion villas, recreation centers, restaurants, etc.
Such lawlessness takes place in the villages of Bilge, Nardaran, Buzovna, Mardyakyan, Pirshagi, and Novkhana.
In recent years tens kilometers of coast have been captured, and are not available to citizens in the Garadagh district.
The captured zones are expanding, depriving ordinary citizens from normal rest in the summer. For residents of Baku city beaches over 100 years have been the most accessible form of rest. -03B-
