At today’s press conference at the Institute for Reporters Freedom and Safety (IRFS), Baku resident Veronica Tarbaeva complained of the illegal removal her newsstand in Baku.
Last summer, she got a right to place her kiosk near the metro station "Neftchilar." However, at night on September 5 the kiosk was stolen.
According Tarbaeva, she got a kiosk in the Trade Department in Baku. She had to pay monthly 1000 manat for the use of the kiosk. In September, Nizami Guliyev , who collected money from stalls in Nizami district, demanded from Tarbaeva 1500 manats. When she asked for clarification on increasing fees and demanded receipts, Guliyev refused to give any explanation, and on the night of September 5, the kiosk was removed.
Tarbaeva complained to the 24th police station in Nizami district. However, the police did not take any measures, saying that "strong men" are behind this business. The district prosecutor recommended Tarbaeva to appeal to court, and there she was told that the case is criminal by nature, and re-sent the case to the police. The appeal to the Baku prosecutor also was futile.
Next Tarbaeva met with the head of the Commerce Department of the Baku Mayor Office, Ramiz Hajiyev. He promised to indemnify the woman, monthly paying her 300 manats.
But Tarbaeva insists on the return of the kiosk. The woman is suffering from cancer and expects the revenues from the kiosk to feed her family and buy medicines. She had to appeal to the Constitutional Court to restore her property rights.
Installation of the newsstand "Press kiosk" began in Baku two years ago. Moreover, in many places they are located instead of the previously state kiosks belonging to the "Gasid" firm. The establishment of new kiosks, which are called "Paris", was motivated to improve the architectural appearance of Baku. However, these outlets are more similar to mini-markets and do not tend to sell newspapers because they earn more from the sale of food and drinks. Moreover, city officials do not disclose who owns the kiosks.
As a result of not providing the answer to the information request about the ownership of the stalls, Turan agency filed a lawsuit against the city mayor, Hajibala Abutalibov, and the case is being considered in the Baku Appeal court. -05C06-

In 2017, the Sumgayit City Court ruled to evict the Aliyev family—refugees from Gubadli (Akper, Sarvinaz, Ramil, and two other family members)—from an illegally occupied apartment in the 12th microdistrict, Building 7A, Apartment 35. The court ordered the property be returned to its rightful owner, Samaya Aliyeva. However, the Ministry of Justice intervened, citing a presidential decree from July 1, 2004, which approved a state program for improving the living and working conditions of refugees. Under this directive, refugees without alternative housing cannot be evicted until they are provided with a replacement residence by the Executive Authority.
