Baku / 18.1218 / Turan: About 50 representatives of the families of martyrs gathered in the Alley of Martyrs on December 18.
According to one of the participants of the event, Mahabbat Gojayeva, the participants of the action came to the Alley of Martyrs, covering their faces with black masks on which "Sus!" (Silence!) was written.
Thus, they protested against the arrest of a martyr"s family member Togrul Gojayev for 30 days during the rally on December 11. He was arrested for 30 days for allegedly disobeying the police.
The protesters demanded the release of Gojayev, after which they dispersed.
In the spring of this year, President Ilham Aliyev issued a decree on the payment of one-time compensation to the families of those killed or missing in defense of the territorial integrity of Azerbaijan in 1991-97 in the amount of 11 thousand manat.
Compensation began on October 9. However, many families were denied on the pretext that they received funds in the past. Disgruntled citizens are recommended to apply to the courts. However, to go to court, the family of a martyr should receive an official rejection of state bodies, but they do not issue such a written document.
The state insurance company Azersygorta claims that in the 1990s some families were paid compensation under the law on compulsory insurance of military personnel. The amounts of the then compensation amounted to 50,000-200,000 non-denominated manat, which is equivalent to the current 10-40 manat. -06D-
