The article also states that the changes will undoubtedly affect the education and health care systems.

The website Modern.az writes about the responsibility of landlords to those who rent in the light of the fire in the shopping center Diglas on March 26. At the same time, it is emphasized that the majority of store owners do not have contracts with the owners of the shopping center, there is no insurance, so it is not clear who can compensate for the damage caused to them.

At the same time, the article says that the state is not at all in response to the fire victims. The article raises the issue of the status of tenants in shopping centers, where they are not issued relevant documents that will be the basis for obtaining insurance. It also sounds the opinion that the state should assume compensation for the victims of the fire.
