Baku / 13.07.17 / Turan: Today Salim Muslimov, the Minister of Labor and Social Protection of the Population received representatives of disabled people who held a protest last week demanding an increase in the amount of benefits and providing benefits for public services. According to a participant of the meeting Zaur Hajili, Muslimov stated that the increase in benefits is now impossible. According to him, the benefits will be raised only in 2018. However, the minister promised to provide with job some of them, as well as to appoint compensation for disabled people with low incomes.
Muslimov also instructed to transfer the questions associated with the disabled to the public council under the Ministry of Labor, so that the topic was the focus of attention.
Another participant of the meeting Ramin Allahyarov believes that the basic requirements of disabled people have not been fulfilled.
"Our protest was associated with low amounts of benefits and utility payments. But we said that these issues cannot be solved. We will continue the struggle so that society will support us," Allahyarov said. -35D05--
