Buzovna residents appealed to President Ilham Aliyev again

Baku/13.06.22/Turan: Public activists in Buzovna settlement, 36 km away from Baku, have made and uploaded on Youtube a video clip with an appeal to Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev. The purpose of the video appeal is to urge the state rescue the historic rocks on the shores of the Caspian Sea from seizure by local landowners, to clean and preserve them for public use. 

The video clip begins with a description of the historical and natural features of the unique rock massif. Several Azerbaijani artistic and musical films have been filmed on these rocks.

Then, using a Google Map satellite map, the authors of the video show from height the shore of the Caspian Sea, built up by the owners and divided by fences reaching the edge of the Sea. Rocks are built up, destroyed, littered with construction debris or completely sawed off on 15 landowners' properties in Buzovna, the authors of the video message show.

In May this year, activists from Buzovna, with the support of the Khazar district executive power, succeeded in having several illegal fences which were blocking public access to the sea, demolished.  The district executive power told Turan that the authorities would achieve complete liberation of the shore from the illegal constructions.

However, the matter was confined to the destruction of several fences, following which the liberation of the shoreline in the settlement of Buzovna has ceased, public activist Seyfullah Ali told Turan. Not a single landowner whose territory comes to the rock massif, observes the law on town planning and architecture, according to which a 20-50 meter strip by the sea can't be privatized and closed for public use," Seyfulla Ali said.-0-
