Baku, often called the "Caucasian Dubai," is increasingly known for systematic violations of residents' housing rights. During urban renovations and the construction of elegant new buildings, thousands of families in Azerbaijan’s capital have been unlawfully deprived of their homes. Many, recognizing the futility of resistance, settle for inadequate monetary compensation for their irreplaceable property. A minority, placing faith in the Housing Code, demand fair compensation from construction companies but often lose everything—both their homes and any form of recompense.

Это потому что Азербайджан - самая нетолерантная страна в отношении к курящим. Потому что негласно запрещён легальный ввоз табачных изделий (обычным гражданам без дай-дайев). Потому что фермерам нельзя продавать табак на рынке. Потому что курящий азербайджанец должен облизоваться, смотря обзоры на ютуб, как россияне недорого покупают шикарный азербайджанский табак в развес. Потому что азербайджанцу предлагают курить изделия Сумгаитского химзавода табакера (мощностями которых пользуются и др. производители). Есть конечно "Собрание" (более-менее сигарета охшайан) и пару-тройка точек продающих (дороже чем у соседей) импортный табак 1-2 видов без особого выбора. Но это далеко не всем по карману. И есть отчаянные попытки некоторых местных производителей поставить на рынок нормальный товар. Ситуация безобразней некуда. Ловля контрабандистов в данном контексте, - защита монополистов рынка, больше ничего.
